Impact Burkardt continues to rehab from an injury sustained before the Christmas break, and his availability for the Jan. 11 match against Bochum is under question. Not having the striker would be a huge blow for Mainz, though, as Burkardt is the team's top scorer with 10 goals across 14 league outings.

Hooked early Sieb had one tackle (one won) and two clearances in Saturday's 3-1 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt.

In 58 minutes played, Sieb took no shots, made just five passes, and had zero touches in the opposition's box. He did manage to complete both of his dribble attempts, but that was one of the few positives he could take away from his performance. He will hope to put in a much better shift against Bochum on January 11.

Given how many chances he has created for his teammates, more assists are likely to come his way as the season progresses.
