Ghana midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng played his first game for Schalke since February after a cameo role in their 2-2 draw against Hertha Berlin over the weekend.
The 28-year-old was thrown into the hat late in the second half as the Royal Blues managed to sniff off a point at Berlin.
The suspended Ghanaian international was only returning to action since February after recovering from an injury.
The future of the former AC Milan star has been hugely speculated with American Major League sides believed to be monitoring his situation.
Even though top Schalke officials have ruled out selling him during the summer, reports linking him away from Veltins Arena is refusing to wash away.
