The FC Schalke 04 is aimed at challenging 90 minutes before the rise duel in the 2nd football Bundesliga against the 1st FC Heidenheim.

“Your game is very rider, uncomfortable, robust. We have respect for what comes to us,” Bundesligas Director Rouven Schröder said on Thursday, “it’s a hard fight.”

The royal blue will be missing on Saturday (13:30 / SKY) midfielder Victor Palsson after a positive coronate test. Thomas Ouwejan plagues of calf problems, his use is questionable.

At Offensellmann Rodrigo Zalazar, who most recently paused because of a footprint, coach Mike Büskens assumes “that he is available again”.

When meeting between the table-four Schalke (50 points) and the seventh of Heidenheim (45), Büskens put on great support from the ranks: “Regardless of the opponent, we prefer to play in front of a full stadium. We live on the arena – Especially in difficult moments – pushed. We look forward to the biggest backdrop we had this season. “

With a possible failure, the interim coach does not work, Büskens think positively. “It’s just four weeks ago that we were seven points behind the first three places. At that time, the pressure was at least as big as now,” said 54-year-old: “We can reach a lot with our team. That’s why I find the situation Rather than chance, less than printing. “
