Freiburg come up against visiting opposition side Schalke at Europa-Park Stadion in their Bundesliga 1 meeting on Sunday, and we have the latest injury news and predicted line ups to hand.
Freiburg are hoping to win again following the 1-2 Bundesliga 1 victory over Werder Bremen.

Michael Gregoritsch, Daniel-Kofi Kyereh and Manuel Gulde are not available for Freiburg manager Christian Streich.
How Freiburg might line up vs Schalke
Schalke head into the encounter following on from a 5-2 Bundesliga 1 win to beat Hertha Berlin in their most recent fixture.

Schalke boss Thomas Reis has multiple availability issues to deal with. Cédric Brunner (Shoulder Injury), Ralf Fährmann (Adductor problems), Justin Heekeren (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Tim Skarke (Flesh Wound), Sepp van den Berg (Foot Injury), Soichiro Kozuki (Ankle Injury) and Sebastian Polter (Cruciate Ligament Injury) will not be playing here.
