Becker is expected to be available for Sunday's German Cup opener at VfB Krieschow following his return to full training. His clean bill of health is a positive sign for Mainz as they finalize preparations for the start of the competitive season.

Serves as depth option Becker started in 11 of his 22 appearances while recording two goals on 22 shots and one assist in eight chances created in La Liga.

Impact Becker would see the second season of his time with Sociedad pass this campaign, shaping out a similar role to the last with his rotational spot.

However, the end of his season was hindered by an injury, as he missed eight of the club's final 11 games. He doesn't look likely to see an increased role in the team heading into the final year of his contract, likely remaining behind Mikel Oyarzabal and Takefusa Kubo.
