Set for return Bell is eligible to return from suspension for Wednesday's clash with Dortmund.

Impact Bell served a one-match ban in the first match back from the World Cup and is now eligible to return. The defender actually fell out of the starting XI leading up to the World Cup break, so there's no guarantee he's straight back in the starting XI.

Traveling to Marbella Bell (strain) is available for Mainz's January training camp, the club announced Tuesday.

Impact Bell is traveling to the Mainz training camp in Marbella. The defender picked up a muscular issue during Winter training but is now set for a return. The defender made 13 appearances (nine starts) before the World Cup break, but had largely fallen out of favor with Alexander Hack taking a starting role in the final matches.

Picks up muscle tear Bell has picked up a muscle tear during Winter training, Allgemeine Zeitung reports.

Impact Bell is dealing with a muscle tear that has knocked him out of Winter training. The defender is expected to be fit when the Bundesliga resumes, Jan. 21 against Stuttgart. Alexander Hack would return to the starting XI if Bell misses any matches.

New starting role? Bell had three crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw to Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Bell took over from the out of form Alexander Hack, as expected, and played the full 90 in the finale of the first half. The defender seems set for a guaranteed starting role moving forward, a role he had taken to open the Bundesliga as well.

Expected to return Bell (illness) is expected to return for Friday's clash with Koln, according to manager Bo Svensson.

Impact Bell is expected to come right back into the starting XI after missing a clash with Bremen through illness. The defender is a nailed-on starter when fit and has consistently filled the stat sheet for a solid Mainz defense. The defender has made 12 tackles and 21 interceptions in nine appearances (eight starts)

Out with illness Bell is not in the match day squad to face Werder Bremen on Saturday due to illness.

Makes two interceptions in loss Bell registered one chance created, two tackles (zero won), two interceptions, two clearances and a yellow card in Saturday's 2-1 loss at Freiburg.

Impact Bell had a decent outing on defense, but it wasn't enough to help them avoid conceding twice to end up with the road loss. The centerback also received his fourth yellow card of the season in eight starts. He will now look to be extra careful to avoid a suspension.

OCTOBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Six clearances Bell had one tackle (one won), six clearances, and three interceptions in Friday's 1-1 draw against Hertha BSC Berlin.

Impact Bell has played every single minute of every match coming into Friday's clash where he was subbed off in the 79th minute. The center-back is a stalwart of the Mainz back line and with the international break to rest and recover he should be a nailed-on option once more when Bundesliga play resumes. Bell has little offensive upside though he fills the stat sheet defensively nearly every match.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Makes four interceptions in win Bell registered two tackles (both won), four interceptions, two clearances and a yellow card in Saturday's 2-1 win at Bochum.

Impact Bell had a good defensive outing to help them earn three points on the road. The centerback led his side in interceptions, while also receiving his first yellow card of the campaign. He was a regular starter last season, logging 112 clearances in 33 appearances (all starts), but was booked nine times over that span.

Consistent starter Bell made 33 starts playing 2,868 minutes throughout the 2021/22 Bundesliga season.

Impact Bell produced the most playing time he's managed in his career with Mainz. The central defender was the heart of the backline and was exceptional throughout making 54 tackles and 112 clearances during the season. Bell also added two goals in one of his most impressive campaigns to date. He will look to anchor the Mainz defense once more in 2022/23.

JUNE 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores winner at Hertha Bell scored one goal from his only shot, made one tackle (won), one interception and four clearances in Saturday's 2-1 win at Hertha Berlin.

Impact Bell scored in the 81st minute to give them the late lead and help them earn the road win. The centerback also led his side in clearances during the match. He will now look to keep things rolling when they host Frankfurt on Saturday.

Scores own goal in loss Bell scored an own goal and won two-of-three tackles during 66 minutes of Saturday's 2-1 loss to Greuther Furth

Impact Bell didn't have the best of performances as he was subbed off at the earliest point of a match since October, and conceded a decisive own goal moments before his exit. He's still kept three clean sheets in his last seven matches and will look to turn things around against Hoffenheim.

JANUARY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss next match Bell took one shot (none on target), made one tackle (none won), intercepted once and received one yellow card during the 1-1 draw with Koln on Sunday.

Impact Bell can consider himself lucky after he was not sent off in the match Sunday. The defender fouled the opposing striker in a last man scenario that should have rewarded him with a red card. Instead, he was only shown a yellow card, but due to card accumulation, he will miss the next match.

Impact Bell found the back of the net in the 15th minute scoring Mainz's second goal. The goal was the fist of the season for the defender while his four shots and two chances created were both the third highest totals on the team in the win.

OCTOBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Extends contract with Mainz Bell signed a two-year contract extension Tuesday that ties him to Mainz until 2023.

Impact Bell is the player with the longest tenure in his club right now, though an injury meant he didn't become a starter until January of 2021 in the most recent campaign. His statistical emphasis on defensive work through clearances doesn't always yield much fantasy value.

Impact Bell started 15 of the club's last 16 contests in which he registered 66 clearances, 26 interceptions and 22 tackles, including one assist and seven shots (one on target). As such, the central defender should be a near-lock for the starting XI against Dortmund.
