Already weighed down by a terrible blunder at the start of the match, Loris Karius experienced a real nightmare during Schalke 04’s defeat against Hoffenheim (1-2). Returning from the locker room, the German goalkeeper was violently hit in the head by his own teammate Robin Gosens, who came to make an emergency tackle to make up for a missed intervention by his goalkeeper. Hit in the face and evacuated from the field with an open nose, the former Liverpool Red forced his coach Miron Muslic to make an immediate change.
Ironically in a particularly unfortunate shock, the author of this involuntary charge suffered the heaviest damage. By hitting Karius with his crampons, Robin Gosens severely twisted his knee, leaving the pitch limping and bandaged. If the 33-year-old goalkeeper comes away with impressive facial cuts, the German international faces a suspicion of a serious knee injury which greatly worries the Königsblau staff. An evening to forget for the promoted club…
