Impact Zentner suffered an adductor injury after a clash with an opponent and was forced off in the 24th minute of Thursday's win against Universitatea Craiova in the Conference League. The starting goalkeeper of Mainz will undergo an MRI on Friday to know the extend of the issue but both the Sporting Director and coach Bo Henriksen are pessimistic about his chances of being available for Sunday's clash against Freiburg. If he has to miss time to recover, Lasse Finn Reiss will be the one replacing him in goal until he returns.

Robin Zentner - Forced off in Conference League Zentner was unable to continue playing after 24 minutes of Thursday's 1-0 loss to Universitatea Craiova in the Conference League.

Impact Zentner has tweaked something according to his club, and his status is now unclear ahead of the weekend's trip to Freiburg. Lasse Finn Riess is expected to be the top replacement choice after subbing on for him in the last match. The regular keeper has had a difficult campaign, but his team's worst results came when he missed a pair of games in October, so his loss may be a huge blow to the squad.

The defender is hoping to play two to three games before the end of the year, which suggests he could be targeting a return against Gladbach on Dec. 5 if everything goes as planned.
