All four sides in
Group E still stand a chance of qualifying with two games left. Schalke
could do with a win on Wednesday ahead of a daunting trip to face AC
Milan in the San Siro. First choice goalkeeper Frank Rost missed the
weekend match because of a knee injury. Christofer Heimeroth stands by
once again. Gerald Asamoah returned from a two-month injury lay-off
against Cologne and may well be included. Midfielder Rafinha is
suspended.
PSV Eindhoven
captain Philip Cocu(Flu) hopes to recover in time for this match. They
will miss US international DaMarcus Beasley, who is out with a hamstring
injury. PSV Eindhoven are in pole position in Group E and will clinch a
top-two berth with victory at Schalke on Wednesday, irrespective of how
Milan fare against Fenerbahce.
