Impact Matriciani stayed with Schalke last time they went down to the 2. Bundesliga, and earned a starting role at left-back in his return.

Starts final five matches Matriciani started eight matches, including the final five before the World Cup break.

Impact Matriciani was originally supposed to be a youth and depth option, but has been called into the starting XI due to the plethora of injuries in the first team. Matriciani has made five starts in a row, and has shown strong form that could see him find consistent playing time throughout the second half of the season. That said it's possible that he falls out of contention once Sepp van de Berg returns from injury.
