Returns to bench Dzeko (head) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Koln.

Impact Dzeko is available as a substitute after a significant head laceration put his involvement in doubt. The striker returned to full team training Thursday following individual work and has now been cleared to feature. He provides an experienced attacking option off the bench, though his inclusion does not guarantee playing time. His condition could still require monitoring as the wound continues to heal.

Impact Dzeko has made encouraging progress after suffering a significant head laceration, returning to full team training Thursday following a period of individual work. The veteran striker was able to participate actively despite the injury, although the wound's healing remains a concern ahead of Saturday's encounter against Koln. Manager Miron Muslic expressed optimism about his chances of featuring, but a final decision will depend on whether the wound has healed sufficiently by matchday. The 40-year-old remains in contention to provide Schalke with an additional attacking option, with his availability likely to be assessed closer to kickoff.

Returns to training ahead of Koln Dzeko (head) resumed full team training Thursday after recovering from a head laceration, putting him in contention for Saturday's Bundesliga clash against Koln, according to Const...

Impact Dzeko has returned to full team training after being limited to individual work due to a head laceration sustained recently. The veteran striker completed Thursday's session without the protective head bandage he had previously worn, requiring only a small dressing over the wound. His return suggests he is available for Saturday's clash against Koln, although his role in the matchday squad and potential starting status remain uncertain. The 40-year-old could provide Schalke with an additional attacking option after overcoming the injury.

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.

Impact 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.

Substituted after head injury Dzeko was substituted two minutes after sustaining a head laceration in a collision during the Bundesliga match against 1. FSV Mainz 05

Impact Dzeko picked up a head laceration in a collision against 1. FSV Mainz 05 and initially continued after receiving treatment, but he was taken off two minutes later, with Hee-Chan Hwang replacing him. Although he was able to remain on the field briefly, the eventual substitution leaves questions over whether the injury was more concerning than initially apparent.

Retires from international football Dzeko played his final game for Bosnia and Herzegovina in Friday's Nations League draw with Sweden and has now retired from international football, FIFA.com reports.

Impact Dzeko brings the curtain down on an international career that began with a goal on his debut in 2007 and ends with him as Bosnia and Herzegovina's record goalscorer and most capped player, with 73 goals in 152 appearances. The 40 year old was the standout figure of the side that reached the country's first World Cup in 2014 and captained them again at this summer's tournament, and his team mates formed a guard of honour for him when he was substituted against Sweden. His focus now turns fully to Schalke, where the international breaks could offer him some valuable rest at 40.

Starts on Sunday Dzeko registered three shots (zero on goal) in Sunday's 0-0 draw against SV 07 Elversberg.

Impact Dzeko had a shot blocked, made 17 passes and also recorded an interception. This was his first start of the campaign and he is yet to register a goal contribution.

Logs 10 minutes in final friendly Dzeko (thigh) came on as a substitute in the 80th minute of Sunday's offseason game against Real Madrid.

Impact Dzeko is ready for the 2026/27 campaign, giving Schalke a highly experienced attacking option heading into the first Pokal round and the Bundesliga opener. The striker is expected to compete and possibly share playing time with Moussa Sylla and Junior Adamu in upcoming action, and he should be a valuable goal threat as long as the team is able to generate a few chances.
