Bayer 04 head coach Heiko Herrlich had his full squad available for the Schalke match with the exception of Tin Jedvaj who is currently making good progress in rehab following a hairline fracture to his shin. The Werkself now have to cope with the loss of another player: Charles Aránguiz suffered a torn calf muscle in the Friday night clash with the Royal Blues. The injury was confirmed by an MRI scan on Saturday morning.

The Chile international, who has been in outstanding form in recent weeks, picked up the injury in the first half and he did not emerge from the dressing room at the start of the second 45 minutes. Aránguiz misses playing for Chile in this week's crucial World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Brazil and is likely to be out of action for Bayer 04 for three weeks.

Werkself review #B04VFB: “Had enough chances to win”

Goals, spectacle and tactical battles were themes of most recent encounters between Bayer 04 and VfB Stuttgart, but Friday’s Bundesliga meeting somehow ended goalless. It wasn’t that Leverkusen were any less attacking than usual, and in fact they produced perhaps their best performance of the season with 19 shots, but it just lacked a goal. We round up the reaction and numbers behind the opening fixture of Matchday 9 in our Werkself review.
