Lee Jae-sung - Could miss rest of season Lee (toe) was absent from team training for around three weeks and is at risk of missing the remainder of the season, according to Allgemeinen Zeitung.

Impact Lee had been given a three-week recovery timeline after being diagnosed with a small toe fracture in early April, but his continued absence from training suggests he has not yet been able to handle the intensity of sessions on the pitch. With only a handful of matches remaining in the Bundesliga season, the window for him to feature again is closing fast, and Mainz will not push him back before he is genuinely ready given the severity of the original diagnosis. Nadiem Amiri and Paul Nebel are expected to continue covering his role in midfield for the final stretch of the campaign if he can't return.

Impact Kohr earned a goal for the first time in a long time, although they don't come commonly for the defender, finding the back of the net in the 15th minute. This is a second goal of the season for the defender, tying his tally from last season. He also added two interceptions and five clearances in the defense while his club allowed four goals and a comeback.

Paul Nebel - Two shots, one goal Nebel scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Bayern Munich.

Impact Nebel ended a four-game skid without a goal contribution Saturday, as the midfielder stepped up for a goal in the 29th minute. This is a fourth goal of the season for him, all of which have come since the start of March. He also has 1 assist as he closes in on 2,000 minutes played this campaign.

Sheraldo Becker - Records goal Becker scored one goal to go with five shots (three on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 4-3 defeat to Bayern Munich.

Impact Becker scored his first goal since February on Saturday as he bagged the final goal of the match for Mainz, scoring in first-half stoppage time. That said, it brings him to two goals on the season, also adding two assists. However, he only joined the club in the winter, earning eight starts in 11 appearances.

Daniel Batz - Concedes four against Bayern Batz registered two saves and allowed four goals in Saturday's 4-3 defeat against Bayern Munich.

Impact Batz would struggle in net despite an early lead from his club, allowing four goals on six shots in the loss. This makes it five straight games without a clean sheet for the keeper, remaining at three in 19 appearances this season. He will now prepare to face Mainz on Sunday, a decent chance to end the streak.

Maxim Leitsch - Will remain out Leitsch (thigh) is out for Saturday's match against Bayern Munich, according to manager Urs Fischer.

Impact Leitsch is not yet an option and is out for another match, still dealing with a thigh injury. This is mainly a loss of depth for the club, as the defender has either been injured or unused most of the season. He will hope a return can come in the final three games of the season, only appearing three times all season.

Philipp Mwene - Wins penalty in return Mwene generated two clearances in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Monchengladbach.

Impact Mwene made his return after missing the Conference League quarter-final second leg through an undisclosed issue, coming on for 24 minutes and winning the late penalty that was converted to earn his side a draw. Before his absence, the left wing back had put together a run of seven consecutive league starts, contributing two shots, five chances created and two assists across those outings.

Daniel Batz - Three saves in draw Batz recorded three saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Monchengladbach.

Impact Batz conceded within the opening 10 minutes but responded well, producing three saves all from inside the box. The goalkeeper has now been breached in four consecutive games and has managed just one clean sheet across his last eight, though he has come close on several occasions, conceding only once in six of those eight outings. He will next be in action on Saturday against Bayern Munich.

Prior to the injury, he had been in outstanding form, contributing five goals and one assist across five consecutive games.

Philipp Mwene - Finds bench Mwene (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Gladbach.

Impact Mwene was questionable for Sunday but has passed his testing, with the defender instead given a role on the bench. He has started in 20 of his 24 appearances this season and was likely not fit enough to see the start Sunday, expected to return to that role in coming games.

Philipp Mwene - Questionable to face Gladbach Mwene (undisclosed) is questionable for Sunday's match against Gladbach, according to manager Urs Fischer. "The boys are working on their comebacks."

Impact Mwene didn't play in Thursday's Conference League match and is still working on a return, as he is now questionable for Sunday. This continues to be a situation to monitor, as he is their starter on the left flank of the defense when fit. If fit, he will hope to return to that role immediately, although with his uncertainty, Silvan Widmer could earn the start instead.

Robin Zentner - Returns to bench Thursday Zentner (groin) was an unused substitute in Thursday's 4-0 Conference League loss against Strasbourg, marking his return to the matchday squad after an absence stretching back to N...

Impact Zentner had been the undisputed starting goalkeeper before a groin issue sidelined him for months, and his presence on the bench is a significant step toward regaining that role. Coach Urs Fischer will now decide whether to restore him to the starting lineup in upcoming fixtures, but having one of the squad's most experienced options back in the fold is a welcome boost for Mainz heading into the final stretch of the Bundesliga season.

Stefan Bell - Available off bench Bell (knee) was an unused substitute in Thursday's 4-0 Conference League loss against Strasbourg, confirming his return to the matchday squad after missing several weeks.

Impact Bell had been back in team training since two weeks and his inclusion on the bench is a positive step toward reclaiming the starting role he held across seven consecutive appearances before the injury struck. The defender figures to ease back into the lineup gradually over the coming fixtures rather than being thrown straight back into the starting XI, but having him available again gives coach Urs Fischer a valuable defensive option to call upon as Mainz push through the final stretch of the Bundesliga season.

Andreas Hanche-Olsen - Returns to bench Thursday Hanche-Olsen (strain) was an unused substitute in Thursday's 4-0 Conference League loss against Strasbourg, confirming his return to the matchday squad after a lengthy absence dati...

Impact Hanche-Olsen had returned to full team training since last week and his presence on the bench is a clean bill of health for the Mainz defender. The Norwegian figures to ease back into a rotational role rather than immediately reclaiming a starting spot given the length of his absence, but having him back in the fold gives coach Urs Fischer another experienced defensive option to call upon as the club heads into the final stretch of the Bundesliga season.

Philipp Mwene - Not playing Thursday Mwene (undisclosed) is not in the squad for Thursday's Conference League match against Strasbourg.

Impact Mwene won't be an option for this European clash -- he was training on his own earlier this week but has been deemed as not fit enough to feature. His next chance to play will come against Monchengladbach on Sunday in the Bundesliga.

Philipp Mwene - Questionable for Thursday Mwene is questionable for Thursday's match against Strasbourg, according to manager Urs Fischer. "Behind the individual Mwene, there is a small question mark. With him, we need to...

Impact Mwene looks to be dealing with a slight injury and could miss some time in the coming match, needing to be checked ahead of the match against Strasbourg. This is something to watch for, as he has been a starter of late, not missing a start in their past seven matches. If he misses out, Silvan Widmer and a returning Anthony Caci could start in his place, hoping he returns to face Gladbach during the weekend.

APRIL 15 • ROTOWIRE

Nadiem Amiri - Plays off bench Sunday Amiri (heel) was available for Sunday's clash against Freiburg and featured 28 minutes off bench, contributing three corners and one tackle.

Impact Amiri had been a late call for several recent fixtures without making the squad, making his return a welcome development for Mainz in the final stretch of the season. The midfielder has been one of their most impactful players when fit this campaign, contributing 10 goals, and getting him back in the fold gives coach Urs Fischer a key creative option to call upon as the club pushes through the final fixtures of the Bundesliga season.
