Career by season
Source: transfermarkt · fetched 2026-05-29
Schick’s career has often been a story of what could have been — a string of muscle injuries that wiped out chunks of multiple seasons, including a long absence that derailed Czechia’s Euro 2024 hopes. Through 2025-26 he was finally injury-free, finishing the Bundesliga season white-hot with nine goals in his last seven games for Leverkusen.
That timing is everything for Koubek’s Czechia. A fully fit, in-form Schick is a tournament-changing No.9 — a Euro 2020 joint top scorer with the technical range to score from any zone of the final third. If Czech Republic shock the group, his name will be on the scoresheet.
Strengths
- First-time finishing inside and outside the box
- Aerial threat
- Long-range shooting
- Big-tournament temperament

16 Bundesliga goals in 28 appearances for Leverkusen in 2025-26 including a hat-trick vs RB Leipzig on Matchday 32; nine goals in his last seven Bundesliga matches.
