Bundesliga outfit Schalke has received some positive news in the build-up to its upcoming Champions League semifinal second-leg against Manchester United, with prolific striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar set to make a comeback from injury, Bild reports.
The former AC Milan attacker sustained a knee problem in February and was initially expected to be sidelined for two weeks at most, but has now been out of action for close to two months.
A return to the fold for Huntelaar now seems to be on the cards on Wednesday, however, as the Germans face a tough task to overturn their 2-0 first-leg defeat.
Meanwhile, highly-rated defender Benedikt Howedes is expected to return to the Schalke starting XI. The center-back missed the first-leg and last weekend’s league game against Bayern Munich due to injury, but has trained with his colleagues and will be available for selection.
