Leo Greiml - Picks up knee concern Greiml (knee) is absent for Tuesday's DFB Pokal clash with Hoffenheim, Schalke announced.
Impact Greiml is yet another Schalke center-back headed for the treatment table. It's bad to worse for the team who are already struggling massively for any sort of consistency in defense. Henning Matriacini is making the start at center-back Tuesday, though he is a natural wing-back. Greiml played the full 90 Friday, so the hope will be that this is precautionary and he is back for Sunday's trip to Hertha.

It remains to be seen if this is precautionary or a serious concern for Krauss' availability against Hertha on Sunday. Danny Latza would likely move back into the starting XI in place of Krauss.
