Silvan Widmer - Ruled out with knee issue Widmer will miss Sunday's Bundesliga clash against Hamburger due to a knee problem, the club announced.

Impact Widmer has primarily served as a reserve option this season, so his absence should have limited impact on Mainz's starting setup. The defender can nevertheless provide experience and cover in multiple roles on the right side, meaning his injury removes an additional option from the bench. With no timeline provided for his recovery, his availability beyond Sunday's contest remains uncertain.

Alexander Schwolow takes over in goal Sunday and is expected to remain Mainz's starting goalkeeper for as long as Zentner is sidelined. Further assessment should provide a clearer indication of how much time the usual starter could miss.

Robin Zentner - Easy outing Saturday Zentner registered no saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 0-0 draw against SC Paderborn.
