Zoma returns: Nurnberg face Schalke challenge | Robin Lisewski

Nurnberg face Schalke: Zoma returns to the team

Nurnberg will have Mohamed Ali Zoma back as they face Schalke 04 on Saturday. The 22-year-old Italian winger missed recent games due to a muscle injury in his thigh, but coach Miroslav Klose confirms his return.

Why is Zoma so important for Nurnberg?

Zoma is one of Nurnberg's top scorers this season with eleven goals. His return is a significant boost for the team, which has not been convincing in recent games without him.

What does coach Klose say?

Miroslav Klose, Nurnberg's coach, says: „Beide sind dabei. Bei Fabio war es eher vorsichtshalber, weil er ein bisschen was gemerkt hat.“ Klose also confirms that goalkeeper Christian Mathenia and talent Robin Lisewski are being considered for a change in goal.

What's the situation in goal?

In goal, a change is looming, just like at the end of last season. Back then, backup goalkeepers Michal Kukucka and Christian Mathenia played in the last two games instead of number one Jan Reichert. This time, goalkeeper Christian Mathenia and talent Robin Lisewski are the candidates for a change.
