Current situation of FC Schalke 04

The Royal Blues are currently in 1st place in the 2. Bundesliga with 70 points. | Category | Value | | --- | --- | | League Position | 1st Place | | Points | 70 | | Goals | 50:31 | | Lead | 8 Points | Other sources report that a departure from Sanchez this summer is quite possible. However, the left-footed player is to be loaned out within Europe in the event of a transfer. There, he is to gain regular playing practice at a higher level and take the next step in his development. The prospects of playing time in Gelsenkirchen have decreased significantly after the Bundesliga promotion. In the previous season, Sanchez played 27 competitive games under coach Miron Muslic, but mostly only came on as a substitute and was no longer part of the squad in the last game of the season. With the current standing in the 2. Bundesliga and the last results like the 1-0 win against Eintracht Braunschweig on May 17, 2026, FC Schalke 04 remains on the right track. The last 5 games have shown that the Royal Blues are in good form, with 3 wins and 2 losses in the last 5 games. | Date | Result | | --- | --- | | May 17, 2026 | 1:0 against Eintracht Braunschweig | | May 10, 2026 | 2:1 against MSV Duisburg | | May 3, 2026 | 1:2 against Holstein Kiel | | April 26, 2026 | 3:0 against Hannover 96 | | April 19, 2026 | 2:1 against Karlsruher SC |
