📋 Team News: Schalke

Blendi Idrizi (Muscular problems), Dominick Drexler (Tear in the abductor muscle), Leo Greiml (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Kenan Karaman (Calf Injury) and Bryan Lasme (Muscular problems) will be missing for Schalke manager Thomas Reis. Ron Schallenberg will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We are thinking that Schalke will probably employ a 4-3-3 formation for the game, beginning the first half with Marius Mueller, Cedric Brunner, Timo Baumgartl, Marcin Kaminski, Thomas Ouwejan, F. Assan Ouedraogo, Paul Seguin, Lino Tempelmann, Tobias Mohr, Sebastian Polter and Derry Murkin.

Magdeburg manager Christian Titz has a number of players out of action. Daniel Elfadli (Strain), Herbert Bockhorn (Torn Ankle Ligament), Noah Kruth (Torn Muscle Fibre) and Mohammed El Hankouri (Torn muscle bundle) won’t be making appearances.

We reckon that Magdeburg seem most likely to elect for a 3-4-3 formation, settling for Dominik Reimann, Jamie Lawrence, Amara Conde, Daniel Heber, Leon Bell, Jean Hugonet, Silas Gnaka, A. Nollenberger, Jason Ceka, Luca Schuler and Baris Atik.
