Patrik Schick - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Retires from NT duty Schick won't play for the Czech national team again after announcing his international retirement following the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Impact Schick announced his retirement from international play after a lackluster showing in the World Cup, finishing with zero goals and only one start in the group stage. He'll focus in his club-level career from now on after a 2025/26 season in which he scored 16 goals in 28 Bundesliga outings for Leverkusen.

Doesn't start last game Schick recorded no stats in Wednesday's 3-0 defeat versus Mexico.

Impact Schick came off the bench in the 64th minute as coach Miroslav Koubek looked for a spark with Czechia trailing 2-0 and needing a win to keep its World Cup hopes alive. He was unable to provide the offensive boost his side needed, with Alvaro Fidalgo's stoppage-time strike putting the finishing touches on Mexico's 3-0 victory shortly after his introduction. Czechia's World Cup campaign comes to an end at the bottom of Group A, with Schick and his teammates eliminated from the tournament.

JUNE 24 • ROTOWIRE

Takes two shots in South Africa game Schick recorded two shots (one on goal), drew two fouls and won three duels in Thursday's 1-1 draw versus South Africa.

Impact Schick tried to connect the lines and was the runner-up in shots for his side, but he only had two weak headers, very early in the game and in the second half, where he could have perhaps done more. He didn't have any attempt in the World Cup opener, and he has yet to create a chance. He has drawn three fouls and logged two clearances so far.

Quiet in Thursday's opener Schick took zero shot and made two clearances in Thursday's 2-1 loss against South Korea.

Impact To no one's surprise, Schick started Thursday's opening World Cup match up top for Czechia. It was a disappointing performance for him as he did nothing on the attack, failing to record a shot or create a chance and finishing the match with just three total passes. He was replaced in the 64th minute for Tomas Chory who was also unable to get anything going. It seems Czechia is primarily relying on set pieces to score, something that doesn't really play into Schick's skill set. Still, Schick is clearly the country's best and most productive striker and can be deadly in front of goal if his teammates can provide him chances in the box.

JUNE 12 • ROTOWIRE

Settled starter in No. 9 spot Schick is set to lead Czechia's front line in the upcoming World Cup, aiming to retain a significant role during the big international event.

Impact Schick enters the World Cup as his side's top attacking threat and one of the most accomplished forwards in the tournament outside the traditional favorites. The striker has built an impressive career through multiple seasons in the Bundesliga and adds valuable experience from two European Championships, including his memorable five-goal performance at Euro 2020. A natural finisher with excellent movement and aerial ability, Schick is capable of converting limited chances against elite opposition. He's also likely to take penalty kicks, further boosting his scoring potential. If Czechia are to make a deep run, their hopes will largely rest on the left foot of their star striker, who will consequently log as many minutes as possible on the pitch.

Could play Wednesday Schick (strain) was spotted in team training Tuesday and could be an option for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Arsenal, the club posted.

Impact Schick appears to be past the muscular issue that kept him out of the last two matches, as he trained normally with the squad Tuesday and could now be in contention for Wednesday's Champions League showdown with Arsenal. That would be a major boost for the Werkself given the Czech striker has been a locked-in starter up top and has already delivered four goals in eight appearances in the competition this campaign. If the staff decides to ease him back from the bench, Christian Kofane would likely get another run in the starting role.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Schick is not available for Saturday's clash against Freiburg as he continues to deal with the muscular issue that kept him out of the last match. The Czech striker has been a locked-in starter leading the line for the Werkself so his absence is notable again against Freiburg. Christian Kofane leads the attack against the club from the Black Forest.

Impact Schick will be evaluated after the final training session ahead of Saturday's clash against Freiburg as he continues to deal with the muscular issue that kept him out of the last match. The Czech striker has been a locked-in starter leading the line for the Werkself, so his availability will be a key storyline heading into the weekend. If he can't go or is limited to the bench Saturday, Christian Kofane would likely step in to lead the attack against the club from the Black Forest.

Three shots in draw Schick had three shots (zero on goal) in Tuesday's 0-0 draw against Olympiacos.

Impact Schick was aggressive from the jump, nearly striking in the fourth minute with a header that drifted just wide before ripping a left-footed shot from distance two minutes later that missed the frame. His clearest look came deep in stoppage time, but his left-footed attempt from the heart of the box slid inches past the post. He didn't add to his first-leg brace, but Leverkusen never needed fireworks to close this one out and punch their ticket to the next round. Schick now owns four goals and one assist in eight Champions League appearances, further cementing his elite European form for the Werkself.
