Evgeny Konoplyanka's difficult period at Schalke
The midfielder of the national team of Ukraine has not been in the starting lineup of his Schalke for two months in a match of the German Bundesliga.
In the 12th round of the German championship "Schalke" our Yevhen Konoplyanka defeated "Nuremberg" at home with a score of 5: 2. Once again this season, Gelsenkirchen did without the help of Ukrainian midfielder Yevhen Konoplyanka, who spent the entire match on the bench. Moreover, our footballer has not been in the starting lineup of his team for the championship matches for two months. The last time from the first minutes Eugene came out on September 29 in a home match against "Mainz" (1: 0). By the way, then the Ukrainian recorded a decisive goal assist.
Since then, Schalke have played six games in the Bundesliga, and only two of them have Konoplyanka appear on the field from the bench.
