Twente loan
The 24-year-old returned to the Arena AufSchalke in the summer after a loan spell at Dutch Eredivisie side FC Twente. However, he has failed to imprint himself in coach Ralf Rangnick's thoughts, and is yet to appear in the Bundesliga this season.
PSV return
Cziommer seems likely to miss Schalke's next three Champions League games, against AC Milan in Gelsenkirchen and against Fenerbahçe SK home and away, but should be available for the visit of PSV Eindhoven on 23 November.
