Sinsheim (AP) - FC Schalke 04, who have already been relegated, begins its four-game farewell tour in the Bundesliga with a heavily modified defense.
Because Benjamin Stambouli and Salif Sané (each fifth yellow card) as well as Malick Thiaw (yellow-red card) are all suspended, coach Dimitrios Grammozis has to rely on fresh strength at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim on Saturday (3.30 p.m. / Sky).
In addition to the former world champion Shkodran Mustafi, Bastian Oczipka and the 21-year-old debutant Florian Flick are also in the starting line-up.
Austria's international Christoph Baumgartner is back in the starting line-up for TSG, which still needs points to stay in the league.
The offensive player is said to be responsible for the goals together with World Cup runners-up Andrej Kramaric and Ihlas Bebou after he only came as a bench player in the 1-1 draw at SC Freiburg.
