However, it is likely he will miss the game against Sweden on Thursday (August 25) to avoid any setbacks that could cost him his participation in the EuroBasket.
If everything goes as planned, Schroder is expected to return to action on Sunday, August 28, in the home game vs Slovenia for the Second Round of the Qualifiers.
Germany will host one of the group stages of the EuroBasket in Cologne (Group B) and will take on Hungary, Slovenia, France, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Lithuania.
