Arsenal fullback Sead Kolasinac is tightlipped on his long-term plans at Schalke.
Kolasinac returned to S04 in January on-loan to the end of the season.
The left-back told WAZ: "We mustn't think about the new season now. That would be fatal in our situation.
"First of all, only the game on Saturday is important for me.
"We all have the goal of staying up, which we are resolutely pursuing together."
The left-back now wears the captain's armband and has played six competitive games so far.
