Max Grüger: Schalke-Jewel convinces with a strong professional debut!

Max Grüger gave his professional debut at FC Schalke 04 and impressed with a strong performance in the game against Prussia Münster, where Schalke celebrated a 2-1 win. The 19-year-old, who has been playing for the royal blue since the U9, showed up as a midfield strategist after an initial 0-1 deficit and was decisively involved in the course of the game. Interim coach Jakob Fimpel praised Grüger for his good performance and announced that he passed the "baptism of fire". Fimpel believes that this is only the beginning of the talent that signed his first professional contract by 2026 at the end of June.

Grüger, who describes himself as a "Schalke through and through", has developed the respect of his teammates. Wing player Tobias Mohr emphasized that Grüger tore the game itself. In view of the possible return of Janik Bachmann and Paul Seguin after the international break, the game time of the youngster could initially drop. But with the new trainer, the chances for Grüger have increased to continue to play an important role in the team, as www.ruhr24.de reports .
