Schalke will be facing guests Karlsruhe at Veltins-Arena in the Bundesliga 2 fixture on Sunday, and we have the latest player updates plus predicted line ups available.
Schalke won’t want a repeat of their last result here following a 1-0 Bundesliga 2 defeat last time out to Cologne. It looks as if Schalke will probably go for a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match with Justin Heekeren, Adrian Gantenbein, Ron Schallenberg, Marcin Kaminski, Anton Donkor, Max Grüger, Paul Seguin, Mehmet Can Aydin, Kenan Karaman, Tobias Mohr and Pape Meïssa Ba.
Michael Langer, Ralf Fährmann, Moussa Sylla and Emil Højlund are unavailable for Schalke manager Kees van Wonderen.
How Schalke might line up vs Karlsruhe
After tasting defeat last time out to Eintracht Braunschweig in Bundesliga 2 competition, Karlsruhe and their fans will hope to get a better result this time. From our viewpoint, Karlsruhe appear most likely to play in a 4-1-3-2 formation by sending out Max Weiß, Rafael Pinto Pedrosa, Marcel Franke, Marcel Beifus, David Herold, Lilian Egloff, Bambasé Conté, Robin Heußer, Marvin Wanitzek, Fabian Schleusener and Mikkel Kaufmann.
Karlsruher boss Christian Eichner has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Andrin Hunziker (Hip injury) and Efe Kaan Sihlaroglu (Knee surgery) are not ready for selection.
