Shooter club Schalke 04 appears in Kaiserslautern traditionally
Schalke 04 will be without their defensive leader Nikola Katic for the upcoming game against 1. FC Kaiserslautern, due to his red card suspension. Katic's absence leaves a significant void, as coach Miron Muslic has acknowledged that he is not easily replaceable.
However, the team receives a boost with the return of their captain, Kenan Karaman. Karaman made his comeback from a left knee injury in the recent Schalke vs Kaiserslautern match, where he played from the bench. Despite missing nearly all of Schalke's pre-season due to the injury, Karaman managed the workload well and felt extremely fit.
Karaman's return is timely, as Schalke prepares for upcoming matches in the DFB-Pokal and their 2. Bundesliga campaign. The club will be looking to improve their attacking play, building on their defensive shape.
