Leaves Finland U21 camp early Ruoppi (knee) has returned to Mainz early from Finland U21 duty due to knee irritation and will initially train individually, according to the club.

Impact Ruoppi's early return appears to be precautionary, with the issue not currently expected to result in an extended absence. The midfielder will receive treatment in Mainz while working individually before being cleared to rejoin team training. His progress over the coming days should provide a clearer indication of his availability following the international break.

Impact Ruoppi provided one assist on his only chance created during Saturday's loss. The midfielder didn't actually get that involved in the attack, but he made the most of his one contribution.
