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.

Assists one of three goals Mwene had an assist with his lone chance created while crossing three times (one accurate) and making two tackles (winning one) during Friday's 3-2 win over Augsburg.

Impact Mwene set up Jonathan Burkardt in the 15th minute assisting Mainz's second goal while leading the team in crosses, chances created and tackles. Mwene is halfway to last season's assist total across his 23 appearances after just four matches in the new campaign.

Out of squad with back injury Mwene is unavailable for Sunday's match against Stuttgart due to a back injury.

Impact Mwene didn't participate in last week's match and misses his second straight contest after starting nine straight league matches. Anthony Caci slides out to left wing-back with Robin Hanche-Olsen entering into Mainz's back three with Mwene out.

Busy from defense Mwene generated two shots (zero on goal), 10 crosses (three accurate) and eight corners in Sunday's 1-0 loss against SC Freiburg.

Impact Mwene lined up on the left side of a back four but basically played as a left winger throughout the match. He joined the attack incessantly and caused major problems for the defense throughout. Mwene is an incredibly attacking full-back and is showing no signs of slowing down or playing defensively despite some defensive troubles in the team.

Impact Mwene should be returning to play after participating in training for the second week in a row. He has missed the previous five games with the injury, but when he does return, he should gain a spot in the starting XI, as he was a starter in their first three matches. He could return for Tuesday's Polka match against Heidenheim, which would almost make him a sure starter for Saturday's game.

Sidelined again Mwene (knee) is out for Friday's match against Bochum.

Impact Mwene will be missing his fifth straight match on Friday after not being listed in the gameday squad. He was not expected to return this week after only participating in individual training but will be keen on being featured in the squad next week after his extended period on the sidelines. The defender will most likely slide immediately back into the squad once he is healthy, taking the play of Danny da Costa.

Still out Mwene (knee) will not be an option for Saturday's match against Bayern Munich, according to manager Bo Svensson.

Impact Mwene had only worked individually during the international break as he is still waiting to take part in full training. This means that the midfielder will miss his fourth match in a row with a knee injury. Danny Da Costa will continue to get the call to start for the time being.

Training alone Mwene (knee) took part in individual running training during the break, WAZ reports.

Impact Mwene was back in individual running training, though he wasn't spotted with the ball. The defender could in theory get back in the first team for Saturday's clash with Munich but it's far more likely he is back for a Friday trip to Bochum. Danny Da Costa has been the starter while Mwene is sidelined and should be in line for another start.

Unavailable Friday Mwene (knee) will not be an option against Gladbach on Friday.

Impact Mwene will be out of action for his third straight match due to his lingering knee problem. The fact that the midfielder is still not training fully with the first team, he may not be ready even coming out of the upcoming international break. Still, once given the all-clear, Mwene should be in contention for a spot in the starting XI after featuring in each of the club's opening three matches.

Trains individually Mwene (knee) participated in individual training Thursday, but remains doubtful for Saturday's clash with Bayer Leverkusen, confirmed manager Bo Svensson. "Phillipp Mwene is train...

Impact Mwene could miss his second match in a row with a knee injury. With Danny da Costa (thigh) also dealing with injury, Aymen Barkok could see his first start of the season against Bayer Leverkusen.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with knee issue Mwene won't play Saturday against Augsburg due to knee swelling.

Impact Knee injuries are often complicated, so Mainz are being cautious with the defender here, as they prefer to rule him for one match rather than missing him for an extended period. Mwene's next chance to play will come against Leverkusen next Saturday.

Makes move to Mainz Mwene has completed his transfer to Mainz 05 from PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday.

Impact Mwene is set for a return to his former club after spending a two-year stint in the Netherlands with PSV. The 29-year-old previously was with the 05ers from 2018-19 until the 2020-21 season and has signed a contract until the 2026 season. Mwene may need some time to work into the squad due to the late transfer, but will add depth and reinforcement to a very thin backline. During his last season at the club, Mwene was able to push the attack from the backline with 97 crosses (24 accurate) and 15 corners in 20 matches.

AUGUST 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set to leave in offseason Mwene will not extend his contract with Mainz following the conclusion of the 2020-21 campaign.

Impact Without a new contract, Mwene will be available on a free transfer once the window opens July 1. Considering the defender started all 19 of his appearances this Mainz this season, in which he recorded one goal on seven shots (three on target), two assists, 94 crosses (23 accurate) and 15 corners, he should garner plenty of interest across European leagues.
