FC Schalke 04 started the week of training before the last day of the Bundesliga season without midfielder Tom Krauss, defender Henning Matriciani and striker Kenan Karaman. Krauss, who had been substituted against Eintracht Frankfurt with muscular problems, was still being examined. Matriciani and Karaman were absent on Monday due to workload management.
Around 500 football fans followed the public session at the training ground. Goalkeeper Ralf Fährmann, who was recently unable to play due to injury, was celebrated with chants. The 34-year-old could be an option again for Schalke’s game at RB Leipzig. His representative Alexander Schwolow had messed up against Frankfurt.
The momentum lies with VfB Stuttgart – and the hope has a name: Sebastian Hoeneß. VfB, who were beaten by Hoeneß on the 26th match day, are in 15th place after the win in Mainz and have it in their hands to directly stay up in the league with a win.
The competition from Schalke and Bochum can only watch. Schalke had played 2-2 against Eintracht Frankfurt, VfL Bochum scored an important point at Hertha in the late 1-1 draw.
