Coach Bo Svensson will probably be available again for the Bundesliga club FSV Mainz 05 at the weekend.
After the Dane missed the previous training week due to a flu infection, he should be back on the bench against TSG Hoffenheim on Saturday (3:30 p.m. / Sky).
“We assume that he can be there,” said assistant coach Babak Keyhanfar, who last led the training session. On Monday Svensson informed him that he would be out for a few days. “We were in contact every day. We catch that in the coaching team, we have a broad staff,” said Keyhanfar.
Mainz are also hoping for a return from attacking player Karim Onisiwo, who was out against Borussia Mönchengladbach (4-0) last matchday due to knee problems. “We expect him back towards the weekend,” said Keyhanfar.
