In the Friday evening game of the Bundesliga (8.30 p.m. / DAZN) against FC Augsburg, coach Bo Svensson can almost fall back on the entire FSV Mainz 05 squad.
Apart from the central defender Jeremiah St. Juste, who is injured on the shoulder, all professionals are available to him.
Dominik Kohr, who was last suspended at 1: 3 in Dortmund, could be back in the starting line-up.
Mainz - After three defeats in a row and only one point from the last four games, the encounter against Augsburg, who are four points behind in 16th place in the table, is an important game for Svensson - but not a trend-setting one.
"We're only on the ninth matchday, after that nothing has been decided, regardless of the direction in which it goes," emphasized the Dane on Thursday.
