Unavailable Friday Mwene (knee) will not be an option against Gladbach on Friday.

Makes move to Mainz Mwene has completed his transfer to Mainz 05 from PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday.

Considering the defender started all 19 of his appearances this Mainz this season, in which he recorded one goal on seven shots (three on target), two assists, 94 crosses (23 accurate) and 15 corners, he should garner plenty of interest across European leagues.
