Out once again Onisiwo (thigh) won't play Friday against Monchengladbach.

Impact Onisiwo has been dealing with a thigh injury and wasn't able to crack the bench for a fourth consecutive match. There's no timetable for his return, but since he's yet to make a single start with Mainz, his absence won't affect many fantasy decisions.

Out with thigh injury Onisiwo (thigh) is not in the squad to face Leipzig on Saturday.

Available off bench Friday Onisiwo (knee) is on the bench for Friday's match against Wiesbaden in the first round of the DFB Pokal.

Impact Onisiwo picked up a knee injury earlier this month, but the injury wasn't serious, and he could see minutes in this contest.

Training again Onisiwo (knee) has started to train again, according to his club.

Impact Onisiwo went down just a few days ago with a knee injury but has already returned to training. That said, his issues appear to be minor and he should be fit again soon.

However, with the issue being minor, there is a solid chance he is fit to compete for their season opener. Either way, he is expected to serve off the bench, so it shouldn't change much heading into the opening day if he misses out.
