Assists as substitute Saturday Amiri assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win against Cote D'ivoire.

Impact Amiri made an immediate impact as he took Aleksandar Pavlovic's place in the 60th minute and delivered a ball into the box that led to the equalizer in the 68th of the game. The Mainz midfielder has been limited to a backup role so far, but the assist could boost his chances of competing for a starting spot in future clashes. In that case, he can hold all-around potential if his team continues to dominate against weaker opposition, although he lacks a solid fantasy floor as he's not an undisputed starter and rarely takes set pieces at the international level.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

Missing out Amiri (heel) is out for Sunday's match against Freiburg.

Impact Amiri was a late call for Sunday and appears to have failed his testing, as the midfielder has been left off the team sheet. This continues a five-game skid as he will now look to return next match, a regular starter this season when on the field, notching 10 goals thus far.

Could feature Thursday Amiri (heel) trained with the team Wednesday and could be an option for Thursday's Conference League first leg against Strasbourg, the club posted.

Impact Amiri was spotted in training Wednesday and could be an option for Thursday's Conference League first leg against Strasbourg after missing the last five matches with a heel injury.

Out against Hoffenheim Amiri (heel) remains out for Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim, according to coach Urs Fischer. "If the player simply isn't ready yet, then he isn't ready. It's important to give...

Impact Amiri is unavailable for Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim as he continues to miss team training, delaying his return.

Paul Nebel should continue in the starting role while Amiri focuses on his recovery.

Unlikely against Hoffenheim Amiri (heel) was absent from Wednesday's open training session and is unlikely to be fit in time for Saturday's clash against former club Hoffenheim, according to Allgemeine Zeitun...

Impact Amiri had expressed hope of returning after the international break, but missing Wednesday's session with the group makes that increasingly unlikely with the weekend fixture approaching fast. The German international has been managing the heel issue for several weeks now, and the staff will not want to rush him back before he is fully ready given how important he is to the team's set piece delivery and midfield engine. Paul Nebel is expected to hold onto the starting role for another week at least while Amiri continues his recovery.

Aiming return after break Amiri (heel) won't train this week and hopes to return after the March international break, according to Sporting Director Niko Bunget, per BILD.

Impact Amiri is battling a heel injury that will keep him on the sidelines for several weeks as he works his way back to full fitness. The playmaker won't be joining team training this week and is targeting a return sometime after the March international break at the earliest. It's a tough hit for Mainz, as Amiri is their go-to man on set pieces and a key engine in midfield. The club will be hoping to get him back at full speed for the season's final stretch as they fight to steer clear of relegation. In the meantime, Paul Nebel is expected to step into the starting role.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

Set to miss several weeks Amiri (heel) is set to miss several weeks to recover from his injury, according to Kicker.

Impact Amiri suffered a setback in training with his recurring heel injury and is now expected to be sidelined for several weeks while he recovers. The midfielder has been an undisputed starter and one of Mainz's true leaders, handling most set pieces, so his absence leaves a real void in the lineup. While he is out, Paul Nebel is in line to step into the starting role in the middle of the park and carry a bigger share of the workload.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers heel injury Amiri suffered a heel injury in training this week and is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Leverkusen, the club announced.

Impact Amiri won't get a crack at his former club in Saturday's showdown against the Werkself after picking up a heel injury in training this week that left him short of full fitness. It's a tough hit for Mainz, as he's a locked-in starter in midfield and the team's primary set-piece specialist, dictating tempo and delivering dead balls. With him sidelined, Paul Nebel slides into the engine room and is set to see an uptick in minutes until Amiri is cleared to return.
