With Jatta back in the lineup, Giorgi Gocholeishvili is now expected to remain on the bench.

Impact Capaldo is uncertain for Friday's match against Mainz due to discomfort and will be tested Thursday to determine if he is fit to feature.

Warmed Omari - Expected to return against Mainz Omari (undisclosed) is expected to return during Friday's clash against Mainz, coach Merlin Polzin said to the media, according to Mopo.

Impact Omari sat out the last match against Union Berlin with an undisclosed issue, but it turned out to be minor, and the defender is now trending toward being available for Friday's showdown with Mainz and could slide straight into the starting XI with Luka Vuskovic suspended. The French defender is firmly in the mix to reclaim his spot in the back line if he checks out in final preparations. If he were to miss out again, Daniel Elfadli or Jordan Torunarigha would be next in line to step in and anchor the defense.

The forward was back in full team training Monday and is now trending toward a stronger push to return in Friday's clash against Mainz. He has mostly worked in a reserve role since the start of the campaign and that pecking order is not expected to shift for the red shorts going forward.
