One of the positive surprises of Schalke 04's season so far are the homegrown talents. With Taylan Bulut and Max Grüger, two gems have already made the leap from the youth academy to the starting eleven.

Coach Kees van Wonderen has now announced the debut of another talent. "If he continues like this, he is ready to play games as well," said the Dutchman, referring to Zaid Amoussou-Tchibara.

The attacking player recently extended his contract in Gelsenkirchen until 2028 and already got a taste of the professional team during the winter training camp.

"We look week by week at what is best for him. He needs game rhythm. He can play with us, in the U23, in the U19," van Wonderen also put the brakes on at the same time.

With the latest injury to Moussa Sylla, the 18-year-old's chances of making his debut have at least not decreased.
