Gelsenkirchen (AP) - Klaas-Jan Huntelaar who has returned is hoping for his comeback for FC Schalke 04 in the next league game on Sunday against FC Bayern Munich and despite his last place in the table after the first half of the season, he still has hope of staying up.
«I knew beforehand what I was getting myself into.
But if we play like we did in the second half, we'll get out of there, ”said the 37-year-old Dutchman, who was unable to play in the 2-1 draw against 1. FC Köln the day after his return due to calf problems.
“I ran a little this morning.
It's getting better.
I hope that I can be there on Sunday, ”said Huntelaar, who scored a total of 126 competitive goals for Schalke from 2010 to 2017.
Coach Christian Gross is also in good spirits about a Huntelaar mission against the record champions.
"There is hope that he will certainly come to a partial deployment," said the Swiss, but added: "We have to talk about it again on Friday.
It makes no sense to take a player who is not one hundred percent fit with you. "
