Johannes Geis (born 17 August 1993) is a German footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga.[1][2]
Club career
He made his Bundesliga debut for 1. FSV Mainz 05 at 11 August 2013 in a 3–2 home win against VfB Stuttgart. On 17 August 2013, he provided an assist to Niki Zimling's opening goal in a 1–2 away win against SC Freiburg.
Schalke 04
On 23 June 2015, Geis joined FC Schalke 04 on four-year deal for a fee in the region of €12 million.[3][4]
On 8 August, he marked his competitive debut by scoring in a 5–0 win at MSV Duisburg in the first round of the DFB-Pokal.[5]
Geis was sent off for a horrible studs-up challenge on André Hahn in a 3-1 defeat to Borussia Mönchengladbach on 25 October which resulted in a 5-match ban for Geis, and left Hahn requiring surgery for a fractured tibia and a lateral meniscus tear.[6] However, Geis was still allowed to play Europa League matches, in which he equalized from the penalty spot against Sparta Prague on 5 November in a 1-1 draw.[7]
International career
He made his debut for Germany U21 against France U21 on 13 August 2013 in a friendly game in Freiburg im Breisgau. He replaced Emre Can at half-time.
He represented the under-21 team at the 2015 European Championship in the Czech Republic, starting 1 match and coming on as a substitute in another. Geis made a substitute appearance, coming on for Can in the 77th minute, in their second group match at the Eden Arena in Prague against Denmark, in a 3-0 victory.[8]
