Ralf Fahrmann has recovered from flu to start in goal for Schalke 04 against FC Ingolstadt 04.

The news comes as a boost to the hosts as the veteran goalkeeper was considered a doubt in the build-up to the game after missing training sessions this week.

Franco Di Santo partners Klaas-Jan Huntelaar in attack, which means that Eric Choupo-Moting is forced to settle for a spot on the bench alongside Roman Neustadter.

Ingolstadt look set to start with a 4-3-3 formation, with Moritz Hartmann being supported by Elias Kachunga and Matthew Leckie on the two wings.

Schalke 04: Fahrmann, Caicara, Howedes, Matip, Kolasinac, Aogo, Goretzka, Sane, Meyer, Huntelaar, Di Santo
Subs: Gspurning, Friedrich, Hojbjerg, Choupo-Moting, Ayhan, Riether, Neustadter

FC Ingolstadt 04: Ozcan, Levels, Matip, Hubner, Suttner, Gros, Christiansen, Bregerie, Leckie, Kachunga, Hartmann
