"You could see today that our attack, without Raul, would not be strong enough to compete in the Bundesliga," Schalke coach Felix Magath told reporters.

"In general we still need also to get some reinforcements," he said, adding Schalke were interested in VfL Wolfsburg playmaker Zvjezdan Misimovic but had yet to make a move for the player.

Following Monday's results, all Bundesliga clubs, apart from St Pauli and Hanover 96, have advanced into the second round.
