Team News: Johannes Geis in for Pierre Hojbjerg for Schalke 04 against Hannover

Johannes Geis has come into the midfield to replace Pierre Hojbjerg in Schalke 04's only change for the visit of Hannover in the Bundesliga this evening.

Geis slots into the centre of midfield alongside Leon Goretzka, with Max Meyer and Leroy Sane give the nod to continue in attacking midfield.

As the German side look to return to winning way after five league matches without victory, Andre Breitenreiter keeps faith with Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting in attack.

For the visitors, Hiroshi Kiyotake is ruled out with a broken foot, so Ceyhun Gulselam is given the nod to deputise in midfield ahead of Uffe Bech.

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

Hannover: Zieler; Sorg, Marcelo, Schulz, Albornoz; Sane, Schmiedebach; Andreasen, Gulselam, Karaman; Sobiech Subs: Tschauner, Prib, Klaus, Saint-Maximin, Felipe, Anton, Benschop
