Mainz 05 was without defender Leitsch for a long time

Bundesliga soccer team FSV Mainz 05 will have to do without defender Maxim Leitsch for the time being.

The 25-year-old suffered a muscle injury in his left thigh during training and “will not be available for the next few weeks,” as Rheinhessen announced on Wednesday.

Leitsch had already missed five Bundesliga games this season due to an medial ligament injury in his knee.
