High-profile visit to FC Schalke 04: Ex-Bayern star Mark van Bommel suddenly showed up at the Knappen on Thursday.
In any case, the new Schalke coach Karel Geraerts doesn’t have to worry – because van Bommel was only visiting privately with his father-in-law Bert van Marwijk (who coached BVB and HSV, among others).
Because van Bommel’s son Thomas played with his club Patro Eisden Maasmechelen from the 2nd Belgian league in the test against S04.
Van Bommel junior, a midfielder like his dad, came on as a substitute in the second half of the friendly. The game ended 0-0.
The 21-year-old only moved from MVV Maastricht (where grandfather van Marwijk works as a consultant) to Maasmechelen in the summer.
Father Mark coached VfL Wolfsburg and PSV Eindhoven before Antwerp. With Royal he made a sensational move into the premier class last season. However, with four defeats from four games, the end is already sealed there.
