Jermaine Jones' struggles for playing time at Schalke 04 have been alleviated somewhat, as Jones
made his first appearance for the club in nearly two months on Thursday.
Having last played for Schalke on Aug. 6, Jones came off the bench in the 76th minute of
Schalke's Europa League match against Maccabi Haifa to help the club preserve its 2-1 lead.

Dempsey scored the last two goals in Fulham's 3-0 victory against Dnipro, likely assuring the
Cottagers' passage to the next round.
