Option for Thursday Makengo (thigh) is an option for Thursday's match against Braga, according to his club.

Impact Makengo had to be taken off early in the club's last outing but is already set for a return in the coming game, as he has shaken off his thigh injury. This will give the club another depth option, possibly a huge addition against a sporadic Rayo team that will keep Freiburg on their toes. However, he has started in their past three UEL matches at left-back, so he could see a starting role right away.

Impact Makengo had to be bandaged up on the pitch before being replaced by captain Christian Gunter, who is now expected to start at left-back if the injury proves serious enough to keep Makengo out at the weekend. The full-back has been a regular in Freiburg's Europa League lineup but has featured less prominently in Bundesliga action recently, so his potential absence would have a more limited impact on Sunday's starting XI than it might otherwise suggest. The club will assess the extent of the thigh damage over the coming days before providing further clarity on his availability.

Small role once more Makengo made just seven starts (19) appearances in the Bundesliga.

Impact Makengo failed to really take a step forward and earn a larger role in the Freiburg back line.

He will likely remain limited in the coming campaign.

Dealing with muscular issues Makengo suffered a muscle injury and is questionable for Sunday's match against Mainz, according to manager Julian Schuster. "Jordy has been involved less so is a doubt."

Impact Makengo could be set to miss out again after missing the club's past two contests, as he continues to deal with muscle issues. Luckily for the club, this is a minor absence either way, as he has yet to earn a start and has only appeared for a total of 28 minutes this campaign. That said, even if he is fit, only expect him to find a spot on the bench.
