Patrik Schick’s injury haunts the Czech football community! How did the prestigious server rate the Czech forward’s performance?

Patrik Schick scored 20 goals in the Bundesliga. A great season! Football servers across Europe immediately flooded social networks. The Czech forward became only the second striker in the top five European competitions to reach the 20-goal milestone this season. But the big glory was spoiled by the final result and also by his injury.

Bayer Leverkusen lost the lead twice and eventually lost 2: 3 at Mainz. However, Patrik Schick was only on the pitch when his Werkself were leading 1: 0. In the 49th minute he had to be substituted due to injury.

This must have scared the Czech football community in addition to coach Gerard Seoane. The key barrage for the 2022 World Cup with Sweden is coming up in leaps and bounds and Patrik Schick is set to be one of coach Jaroslav Šilhavy’s biggest weapons.

And what is the diagnosis? At the post-match press conference, coach Seoane revealed that his injury is related to his left calf. The club will know more details about the nature of the injury today or tomorrow.

The Czech football public can pray that this injury is not a long-term one. The barrage against Sweden is played on March 24, so there is still some time to recover, but not much. The Czech goal scorer’s left leg is stronger, so hopefully his recovery will be good as well.

Patrik Schick’s rating

Even though the Czech forward only spent 49 minutes on the pitch, the prestigious WhoScored rated him as the third best on the pitch (out of the players who started in the starting lineup).

Schick received an above-standard mark of 7.12 from the statistics server. Interestingly, the Czech sniper needed a minimum of touches with the ball to score again. During his time on the pitch he had only 7.
