With defenders Bernardo, Lukas Klostermann, Marvin Compper and Kyriakos Papadopoulos all still out injured, RB Leipzig head coach Ralph Hasenhüttl is expected to name an unchanged line-up for the visit of FC Schalke 04. Hasenhüttl was complimentary of his charges, claiming they had "adapted well to life in the Bundesliga", but did warn that the Royal Blues would pose their "toughest test" to date.

There were concerns regarding the fitness of Schalke duo Max Meyer and Naldo after they sat out training at the start of the week, but both recovered from their respective knocks and took part in first-team training on Thursday. Schalke head coach Markus Weinzierl also admitted that Franco Di Santo is "probably unavailable" for selection, meaning Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting will once again lead the line.
