Andreas Hanche-Olsen - Trains with team Hanche-Olsen (toe) has returned to team training, according to his club.

Impact Hanche-Olsen is receiving great news as the team regathers from the international break, as he has been included in team training for the first time since fracturing his toe. This leaves him in a decent spot to possibly be an option Sunday when facing Kiel, likely needing a late fitness test to decide his availability. He started in all four games he was an option for before his injury and will look to earn that spot back immediately now that he is nearly fit.

Paul Nebel - Out of international duty Nebel withdrew from Germany U21 national team duty due to some minor injuries.

Impact Nebel has been in blistering form, and earned a U21 national team call up. Unfortunately some minor injuries mean he will stay in Mainz and continue on his recovery ahead of a Nov. 24 clash with Kiel.

Moritz Jenz - Back in training Jenz (strain) returned to training Tuesday, Allgemeine Zeitung reports.

Impact Jenz has been on the sideline with a muscular issue, but is now back in training. The defender is coming back to full team training slowly, but seems to be on track to make his return after the international break if he avoids any setbacks.

NOVEMBER 9 • YOUTUBE

Robin Zentner - Makes no saves in win Zentner gave up one goal in Mainz's 3-1 win over Borussia Dortmund and didn't make a single save.

Impact In fairness to Zentner, Dortmund was much more defensive after going down a man early and the goalkeeper didn't have much to do. That level of inactivity could be replicated in two weeks against Holstein Kiel, a side which has just 12 goals in 10 league matches.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Philipp Mwene - Gets another assist Mwene logged an assist in Mainz's 3-1 win over Borussia Dortmund Saturday. He only took one shot in the match.

Impact After not being involved much over the last three matches, Mwene got another assist in a big win. He's blossomed in a starting role for Mainz and gets a soft opponent in Holstein Kiel two Sundays from now after the international break.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Anthony Caci - Logs assist, seven tackles in win Caci assisted on Mainz's first goal in a 3-1 win against Borussia Dortmund. He also made seven tackles and had eight crosses.

Impact Though Caci's crosses weren't too dangerous (one accurate cross), he did find Lee Jae-Sung for the game's opening goal. It's his first assist of the season, and he may become more involved in the attack as a result after the international break.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Nadiem Amiri - Busy in win Amiri didn't score in Mainz's 3-1 win over Dortmund, but he logged eight crosses, seven corners and took four shots (two on target).

Impact Despite not getting a goal, Amiri was instrumental in a key win for Mainz with his activity level. He should see similar success against a struggling Holstein Kiel side in two weeks after the international break.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Paul Nebel - Tallies first league goal of season Nebel scored his first Bundesliga goal of the 2024-25 season in a 3-1 win against Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Nebel only took one shot and made it count, giving Mainz a crucial two-goal lead early in the second half. He'll get to recover during the international break before facing Holstein Kiel in two weeks.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Lee Jae-sung - Tallies opening goal in win Jae-Sung took four shots (three on target) in Mainz's 3-1 win over Borussia Dortmund, scoring the opening goal of the contest.

Impact Jae-Sung was first on the board in a match that saw Dortmund go down to 10 men early. It's his second Bundesliga goal, and he should see more success in two weeks against a Holstein Kiel side which has conceded 25 goals in 10 league games.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Jonathan Burkardt - Scores late in first half Burkhardt netted a goal in stoppage time in the first half of Mainz's 3-1 win over Borussia Dortmund. He finished with three shots (two on target).

Impact Mainz eventually took advantage of having an extra man, with Burkhardt getting the go-ahead goal just before halftime. There's an international break, which means Burkhardt will next be in action against Holstein Kiel in two weeks.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Nadiem Amiri - Attempts four crosses Amiri recorded one shot (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus SC Freiburg.

Impact In a game that saw zero goals, Amiri tried to make something happen by attempting four crosses. But unlike his previous two appearances, when the midfielder logged seven accurate crosses in 19 attempts, he struggled to get any of his balls into the box on target.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Anthony Caci - Continues efficiency Caci recorded one shot (one on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus SC Freiburg.

Impact While Caci has lacked end product this season, his contribution out wide should not go unnoticed, especially that across Mainz's last three games. Each of them saw him create three chances and log multiple accurate crosses, totaling seven during the span.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Dominik Kohr - Records three interceptions Kohr generated two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 0-0 draw against SC Freiburg.

Impact Sunday included Kohr's first game of the 2024-25 Bundesliga in which he logged more than two interceptions. He has logged 14 clearances, five tackles won and five interceptions across his last three appearances, two of them being clean sheets by Mainz.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Stefan Bell - Defensively excellent in start Bell generated one tackle (zero won), 10 clearances and five interceptions in Sunday's 0-0 draw against SC Freiburg. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 70th minute.

Impact Bell easily led Mainz in clearances and interceptions, making a significant impact in his first start since Aug. 31. Ideally for him, his latest appearance pushes Mainz's head coach to start the center-back moving forward, considering his only other appearance since August was a 58-minute game on Sept. 28.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Robin Zentner - Logs two-save clean sheet Zentner had two saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 0-0 draw against SC Freiburg.

Impact Saving one shot each from Vincenzo Grifo and Junior Adamu was all Zentner needed to log a clean sheet Sunday. Since October, the goalkeeper has logged two clean sheets in four games. They also included Zentner averaging 3.5 saves and conceding only three goals.

Jonathan Burkardt - Recovers from injury Burkardt (undisclosed) is starting for Mainz during Sunday's clash with Freiburg.

Impact Burkardt is good to go after leaving early last week against Monchengladbach with an injury. The attacker was aiming for a return November 9th against Dortmund, but has recovered sooner than expected to lead the line Sunday.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Moritz Jenz - Out as expected Jenz (strain) is unavailable for Sunday's trip to Freiburg.

Impact Jenz misses out as expected following an injury suffered in mid week during German Cup action. The defender is replaced in Sunday's XI by Stefan Bell.

Moritz Jenz - Absence looming Jenz was forced to sub off at halftime during Wednesday's loss to Bayern Munich during the German Cup and is now set for further tests on his muscle injury. "With Moritz Jenz we a...

Impact Jenz could see some time on the sidelines with a muscle injury that forced him to play just one half Wednesday. Since returning from an early season injury, the defender had totaled 43 clearances with six blocks, making him a crucial part of the back line. If he is indeed ruled out, then Danny Da Costa could return to the starting XI for Mainz.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Karim Onisiwo - Returns against Munich Onisiwo came off the bench for the second half of Wednesday's 4-0 loss to Munich.

Impact Onisiwo missed over a month with a thigh issue, but was deemed fully fit and returned for Wednesday's cup clash. He wasn't able to get on the scoresheet, but he still put together a decent showing against a strong Munich side. Onisiwo will likely remain a depth option moving forward now that he's fit.

OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Jonathan Burkardt - Looking to return against Dortmund Burkardt (undisclosed) is eyeing a return against Dortmund on Nov. 9, according to manager Bo Henriksen. "We're missing Jonny tomorrow evening. But he wants to play as soon as poss...

Impact Burkardt will have a short absence after leaving Friday's match early, with the forward expected to miss at least Wednesday and Sunday's matches. That said, he will eye a return against Dortmund on Nov. 9, hoping he is fully recovered by then. He has been a regular starter, so this will force a change, with Nelson Weiper or Armindo Sieb as his likely replacement.

Anthony Caci - Lacking end product Caci took four shots (one on goal), crossed five times (three accurate) and created two chances during Friday's 1-1 draw with Gladbach.

Impact Caci was held off the scoresheet, but was active in attacking finishing with the second highest amount of shots, crosses and chances created on the team in the draw. Caci is a threat going forward whenever he lines up at wing-back, but he's yet to had a goal involvement this season despite solid attacking output.
