Speak up, Xabi Alonso!
"All 13 players who were called up have returned healthy to Leverkusen. That is great news. All the fit players are ready. We expect an exciting game at Schalke. Nadiem Amiri will not be fit for the match. Patrik Schick and Charles Aranguiz need more time. Both are feeling better. But I can't say when they will be fit again.
Schalke is in a good moment. There is good energy in the team and, above all, they still have hope of staying in the first division. That's why they fight with a lot of passion in every game. We have to be stable, for that we need high concentration and a strong performance. There is a good atmosphere at the Veltins-Arena, we are prepared for it. If we play at our best level, we will get a good result. We want to win."
Probable roster for Leverkusen
Hradecky; Tapsoba, Tah, Hincapie; Frimpong, Palacios, Andrich, Bakker; Diaby, Wirtz; Azmoun.
Leverkusen's situation
In contrast, Xabi Alonso has few casualties for the duel. Aranguiz, with a calf injury, Lunev, with a back injury, and Schick, with a groin injury, are in the medical department, while Amiri, with a muscle problem, is a doubt.
Speak up, Thomas Reis!
"It certainly won't be easy. But it's not impossible either. Leverkusen puts a lot of speed on the field and goes deep as soon as they win the ball. But we are prepared for that. They are also vulnerable, plus we want to bring the fun of soccer to the opponent with our style. Of course, we also want to play attractively. But being attractive also means having the courage to attack the opponent from the start. We have a home game, we have our fans supporting us - that inspires the boys."
