Augsburg (dpa) - Manuel Baum left his former place of work after a strenuous working day with extreme emotional fluctuations.

First and foremost for the Schalke coach after the away win at his ex-club FC Augsburg, which was lost in stoppage time, was the relief that his attacker Mark Uth had not been injured as badly as he was in a violent collision with opponent Felix Uduokhai the few shocked eyewitnesses in the spectatorless Augsburg stadium had to fear.

"The positive thing is that the market is doing well," was Baum's most important message after a dogged 2-2.

Uth himself published a photo of himself in the sick bed on Sunday evening.

He is doing "very well," wrote the ex-national player as a comment.

The attacker suffered a concussion from his head on the lawn.

Uth should be able to leave the clinic on Monday after just one night of observation.

After the shocking scene, the game was even about to end.

But the Schalke team wanted to continue playing when asked by referee Manuel Grafe.

"We wanted to fight for Mark on the pitch," said Captain Omar Mascarell.

The plan to win for Uth as well as possible only worked until the 90th minute.

Then Augsburg's Marco Richter headed the 2-2 in stoppage time.

In the 27th attempt, the endless loop of Schalke's lack of victory in the Bundesliga after the goals from Benito Raman and Nassim Boujellab, who turned the tough game around after an own goal by Suat Serdar, almost broke off.

But even in the majority, Schalke could not save the lead over time after the excessive yellow-red card for FCA striker Florian Niederlechner.

"We have to put everything in until the last second," demanded Baum afterwards.

After the extreme experiences on his first return to Augsburg, the 41-year-old still believes that the winless series will end in 2020. There are still two chances against Freiburg and Bielefeld.

Baum left the Augsburg Arena with a Christmas promise to the Schalke fans: “We're getting closer and closer.

There is no way we will give up, but in the next two games we will put everything we have into it again so that we will then at least put the first three under the Christmas tree. "
