Developments: 2. FC Schalke 04 has transitioned from competitive Bundesliga play to preparation during an international break. In early September, the club faced Union Berlin in a critical match while managing absences such as Kalas and Schallenberg. By early October, Schalke 04 scheduled a test match against Austrian side SC Austria Lustenau. Due to international call-ups, several key players including Edin Dzeko and Hee Chan Hwang were unavailable. Trainer Miron Muslic intended to use the match to provide playing time for established players and five talents from the U23 squad. On October 2, 2026, Schalke 04 secured a 1-0 victory in their second friendly match of the international break against Austria Lustenau in Vorarlberg. Moussa Sylla scored the decisive goal in the 66th minute with a header following assistance from Robin Gosens and Ron Schallenberg. Muslic utilized the match to conduct defensive experiments and integrate returning players, such as Loris Karius and Robin Gosens, while managing a squad missing nine national team players. Following a quiet first half, the team improved their offensive play in the second period. This win follows a previous 5-2 friendly victory against RW Oberhausen. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-02: FC Schalke 04 defeats Austria Lustenau 1-0 in friendly Moussa Sylla scored the only goal as FC Schalke 04 defeated Austria Lustenau 1-0 in a friendly match held in Austria during the international break. 10 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/fc-schalke-04-tests-against-austria-lustenau ### 2026-09-09: Union Berlin and Schalke 04 face Bundesliga clash as Salzburg draws with Ried Union Berlin and Schalke 04 face a crucial Bundesliga clash while early-season action in Austria sees SV Ried hold Red Bull Salzburg to a late draw. 18 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/red-bull-salzburg-faces-sv-ried-in-austrian-bundesliga --- Cite as: FC Schalke 04 football activities.
