Speaking to the North-Rhine Westphalia’s Ruhr Nachrichten, S04 head-coach Thomas Reis revealed that he believed striker Sebastian Polter to be lost for the season. In other Schalke-related news, multiple sources are now reporting that a deal for one possible attacking reinforcement is now likely dead.
