Requires stitches for head wound
Dzeko sustained a deep head laceration during Saturday's Bundesliga clash against Mainz, requiring several stitches to close the wound, according to the club.
Analysis: Dzeko suffered a head injury following a collision against Mainz, leaving him with a laceration several centimeters long that required stitches from the club's medical staff. The striker initially continued playing after receiving treatment but was substituted just two minutes later, with Hee-Chan Hwang replacing him. Although the club has confirmed the extent of the wound, no recovery timeline has been provided, leaving his availability for Schalke's next Bundesliga clash against Koln uncertain.
