Kobiashvili hoping for a Schalke shake-up

Georgia captain Levan Kobiashvili told uefa.com he and his FC Schalke 04 team-mates were “very disappointed” with their autumn Bundesliga campaign, but is eager to shake of an achilles problem as his side battle for a top-three finish.

Kobiashvili said: “We all are very disappointed. We are eight points behind the top two, Hoffenheim and Bayern. The management has set us the target of reaching the cup final and also securing a Champions League place next season, so we have to finish in the top three”.
