Kevin Muller - Decent performance in net Muller made three saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Mainz.

Impact It would be hard to blame Muller for Heidenheim's loss to Mainz on Sunday. In 90 minutes played, the 33 year old made three saves, two diving saves, two saves from inside his own box, and made ten recoveries. Muller has struggled in the Bundesliga this season, recording the sixth-worst save percentage in the league with a mark of 61.9. Still, it is encouraging to see him have a good performance despite the loss, and he will hope to have another one this Thursday against Kobenhavn in the Conference League.

Impact Fohrenbach returned to play Sunday after concerns of an injury following an early exit last contest, seeing 57 minutes off the bench after seeing a starting spot. However, he did exit early, something to be wary of even though it looked like a cautious move. He is a regular starter and should remain in that spot if he is fit.
