Kuranyi Sidelined With Lung Infection


German international Kevin Kuranyi had to call doctors in the middle of the night after being taken ill in Belek, Turkey.

The striker was at a training camp with the rest of the Schalke 04 squad as they prepare for the second half of the Bundesliga season.

German newspaper Bild is reporting that Kuranyi travelled to Turkey later than the rest of his team-mates so he could be present at the birth of daughter on Sunday.

The striker was already suffering with a stomach and intestinal infection, for which he had been taking medication, and after taking a turn for the worst on the flight east, things reached a head on Monday night as a lung infection was diagnosed.

Schalke doctors have told Kuranyi not to leave his bed at the hotel for the time being, therefore ruling him out of the participating in the Turkish trip.

It is not yet known when the marksman will be able to commence training again. The Bundesliga resumes at the beginning of February.
