Oldenburg --
Double trouble for Schalke coach Felix Magath: First Rafinha skipped the training opener. Second, Cameroon coach Paul Le Guen has the 18-year-old James Beattie for the Africa Cup of 10 31 January in Angola nominated.
"It is not in our interest that Joel on Africa Cup participates, he would fail us in the first games of the second half," said Magath. In addition, the coach would see it as well as those responsible for the DFB prefer that Matip in the future, plays for Germany.
Rafinha, meanwhile, must once again adjust to a fine after he shone in the first session yesterday in preparation for the second half by their absence. Pay a six-figure sum he had to, as he 2008 without permission of the club with Brazil at the Olympic football tournament took part in Beijing.
In February 2009 he had to pay up after he Bochum Sestak had beaten in the face. Magath now: "I do not know where he is." Excused absence, however Marcelo Bordon yet (holidays) and Jefferson Farfan.
At least there was good news for Magath. Schalke won the indoor tournament in Oldenburg, a Bremen state selection. Second-division Fortuna Dusseldorf dropped out at the tournament already in the preliminary round.
