Schalke 04 versus Fortuna Düsseldorf: Missing Two Keys Players for Fimpel

Schalke, under temporary coach Fimpel, face a depleted squad in their match against Düsseldorf, missing two key players. - Schalke, led by interim coach Fimpel, face off without two players in Düsseldorf setting.

Get ready for some adjustments, folks! Schalke'04's temporary coach, Jakob Fimpel, will be without two key players in his third game this season as they face Fortuna Düsseldorf on Saturday at 1 p.m. CET (Sky). The duo, Tomas Kalas and Janik Bachmann, are sidelined due to minor injuries sustained in training[1].

Fimpel finds himself at the helm once more until the end of the season, stepping up after Kees van Wonderen's dismissal. The 36-year-old sideline strategist coached Schalke's regional league team previously, taking charge of the professionals after Karel Geraerts was given the boot last September[1].

Expect some fresh faces, as Fimpel may lean on some young blood from Schalke's U23 team, much like he did in his previous stint as interim coach[1]. "I go by feel," Fimpel confidently declared, hoping to push all chips into the pot[1].

Currently, Schalke sits just above the relegation zone, with a requirement of at least one point from their remaining games against Düsseldorf and Elversberg to ensure their continued presence in the Bundesliga[1]. If Preußen Münster manages to defeat Hertha BSC on the preceding day, Schalke's situation becomes even more precarious[1].

As the clock ticks, tactical decisions, and a pool of talented youngsters ready to rise, things are heating up in Gelsenkirchen for Fimpel and Schalke'04, looking to seize every opportunity to secure their Bundesliga stay.
