Leverkusen (dpa) - Patrik Schick, 26 million man, is in the starting line-up at Bayer Leverkusen for the first time since the beginning of October.

The Czech international starts in the group game of the Europa League against Hapoel Be'er Sheva as a striker.

His representative Lucas Alario, who scored eight goals in seven games, is initially on the bench.

Schick, who was signed by AS Roma in the summer and played for RB Leipzig in Germany last year, suffered a thigh injury on the third Bundesliga matchday in Stuttgart.

On Saturday he made his comeback at 2-1 in Bielefeld with a substitution for Alario in the 65th minute.
