- "My nose is broken," says Fabian Schär after the game against Scotland.
- In the 19th minute, the heads of Schär and Scotland's Ralston collide. The Nati defender is bleeding, but bites his teeth and plays through.
- It is still unclear whether Schär will play with a mask or not. We will see what further examinations reveal.
Fabian Schär (32) stands in the belly of the Cologne stadium, marked by the tough battle against the Scots. The man from Wil SG says: "My nose is broken."
It happens in the 19th minute. Six minutes earlier, Fabian Schär had scored an unfortunate own goal to make it 0:1. Shortly afterwards, Ralston and Schär collide with their heads in the Scotland penalty area and both go down immediately.
Schär is bleeding from the nose. And, as you can see after the game, it's a little crooked. But Schär grits his teeth and plays through 90 minutes.
Will Schär now play with a mask? France superstar Kylian Mbappé also suffered a fracture and has already called for suggestions for a creation. Let's see if it becomes an issue for Schär too.
He himself says: "It's broken now, it can't break any more." We'll see what further investigations bring.
