Bernard Tekpetey omitted from Schalke squad to face PAOK in Europa league

Ghana AFCON star Bernard Tekpetey did not travel with the Schalke 04 squad to Greece to face PAOK in the Europa League round of 32 first leg qualifier.

But he was not in coach Markus Weinzierl's 22-man squad which travelled on Wednesday.
