Impact Busch had missed Sunday's clash against Koln after picking up a knock, with Omar Traore stepping into the starting right-back role in his absence. His return to full training is a clean bill of health heading into the final fixture of Heidenheim's Bundesliga season, and he should regain his starting role against Mainz as the club looks to end the campaign on a positive note.

Jonas Fohrenbach - Finds starting XI Fohrenbach (concussion) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Koln.

Impact Fohrenbach needed some testing as he attempted to get out of concussion protocol ahead of Sunday, and the defender has done so, not just fit but earning a spot in the starting XI. He has now started in 25 of his 27 appearances this season, likely to continue as a starting defender into the final match of the season.

Impact Conteh had missed Saturday's fixture against Bayern Munich to attend a family funeral, making his return a straightforward non-sporting absence rather than any fitness concern.

Impact Fohrenbach had remarkably returned to the pitch despite the injury given Heidenheim having used all their substitutions, but the severity of the situation became clear afterward when the defender revealed he had no memory of returning to the field at all, a telling sign of the concussion's impact. His availability for Sunday's clash against Koln remains uncertain, though the club expressed cautious optimism about a relatively swift recovery given the time remaining before the fixture.
