Royal Blues braced for onslaught from Inter

SCHALKE defender Benedikt Howedes is expecting a busy 90 minutes when Inter come to the Arena AufSchalke tonight looking to overturn a 5-2 deficit from the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.

With a three-goal cushion and five away goals in the bag, it would take an amazing effort from Inter for the Royal Blues not to book their place in the semi-finals. But Howedes is not taking anything for granted.

“We have got to be warned,” he said. “Inter will certainly try everything to turn the result around and they will throw everything forward.
