By Matt Domm, Reporter | 29 August 2013

Schalke 04 striker Adam Szalai has learned that he will not require surgery on his right hand after scans revealed it was only bruised and not broken.

Szalai injured his hand in training before Schalke's 3-2 victory at PAOK, but scored a brace to help his team qualify for the Champions League.

The player said that he is pleased that he will not spend time on the sidelines requiring surgery.

"I am very happy it's nothing worse," Bundesliga.com quotes Szalai as saying. "I really wanted to play. Missing the match was never an option."

Szalai is currently enjoying a run in the team with Klaas-Jan Huntelaar absent through injury.
