Obasi, Aogo And Sam Named In Schalke Squad To Face Chelsea

Ahead of the game against Chelsea in their opening fixture in the UEFA Champions League, Schalke 04 arrived the capital of England on Tuesday with a 21 - man squad.

Nigeria international Chinedu Obasi is one of the five attackers included in the provisional squad list, but will have to compete with  Donis Avdijaj, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar for a starting shirt.

Also named in the roster are Germany internationals of Nigeria descent Dennis Aogo and Sidney Sam.

Previewing the game, Dennis Aogo told Schalke’s official website : “Despite being well beaten in both matches by Chelsea last year, we played well, especially in London. We were well organised in the first 20 minutes, it’s just a shame we didn’t score a goal.”

“We are now focused firmly on Chelsea and examining their strengths and weaknesses.”

28 - year - old Chinedu Obasi is yet to feature in an official game for the Royal Blues so far this season.
