Berlin (dpa) - Coach Christian Gross relies on Ralf Fährmann in goal for his debut as Schalke coach.
Frederik Rönnow has to take a seat on the bench in the Olympiastadion in the game at Hertha BSC on Saturday evening.
For the first time after his serious head injury, Mark Uth is back in the starting line-up of the bottom line-up in the Bundesliga, without a win in 29 games.
Overall, Gross changed the starting team to four positions compared to the 0: 1 against Arminia Bielefeld under interim coach Huub Stevens.
Benito Raman, who has ankle problems, and Salif Sané, who has an injured knee, were absent from the squad.
Hertha coach Bruno Labbadia has to completely rebuild his central defense against Royal Blue.
After captain Dedryck Boyata's failure due to a bruised foot, Jordan Torunarigha is also missing from the starting line-up.
Niklas Stark and Omar Alderete form the defense center.
In attack, Jhon Cordoba returns to the team after being out for weeks due to a ligament injury.
