"Klaas-Jan has been able to train for the last few days, unfortunately not fully," said Schalke's team manager Sascha Riether before the game on Sky TV.
Nevertheless, it is extremely important that the Dutchman is in the squad for the first time since his return.
“Even if he's only on the bench at first.
It brings us an incredible amount of energy, not only in training, but also in the dressing room.
He's a very important player for us, »said Riether.
Back in the starting formation of the bottom of the table is the third winter newcomer Sead Kolasinac.
At Bremen's defensive boss Ömer Toprak is fit in time after his ankle sprain and is in the starting line-up.
Striker Davie Selke is out with a thigh injury.
