Schalke: If Howedes wants…
By Football Italia staff
Schalke have told Juventus defender Benedikt Howedes that he can return to the club for injury treatment.
Howedes joined Juve on a season-long loan at the end of last month, but the German has yet to feature for the Bianconeri and is set to miss another month with an ankle injury.
That has prompted Schalke sporting director Christian Heidel to tell reporters: “If Benedikt wants, we’ll offer to cure him from his injury.”
The Bundesliga side will be interested to see how the 29-year-old recovers, given they will be in line to receive a total of €16.5m from Juve once he plays 25 games in Turin.

Mandzukic 'potentially serious' injury
By Football Italia staff
Juventus forward Mario Mandzukic sustained a “potentially serious” ankle injury while playing for Croatia last night.
The striker had been on the scoresheet in the World Cup qualifier against Finland, but limped off after an hour.
It was a blow to the same ankle he has been struggling with recently.
“Mario’s problem is potentially serious, as he limped away despite the fact he has a very high pain threshold,” explained Croatia Coach Ante Cacic.
“Over the next few days we’ll see the extent of the issue and work out what is to be done next.”
Brozovic and Mandzukic injured
By Football Italia staff
Inter midfielder Marcelo Brozovic and Juventus forward Mario Mandzukic sustained injuries on international duty with Croatia.
The pair limped off during the 1-1 draw with Finland last night, which looks as if it’ll push Croatia into the World Cup play-offs, as Iceland now top their group.
A statement from the Croatian Federation confirmed Brozovic has been sent back to Italy after suffering a muscular problem, so has been ruled out of Monday’s game against Ukraine in Kiev.
Although Coach Ante Cacic spoke of a “potentially serious” ankle injury for Mandzukic, the Juventus striker is being kept with the Croatia team for the moment.
He will travel to Kiev early and undergo treatment there to see if he’s ready to face Ukraine on Monday.
