Mainz to make late decision on Zentner’s availability against Leipzig

Robin Zentner remains a doubt for Mainz’s upcoming Bundesliga clash with RB Leipzig.

Mainz 05 will make a late call on first-choice goalkeeper Robin Zentner ahead of their Bundesliga clash with RB Leipzig on Saturday.

Zentner has been unable to take part in training since being forced to pull out of Tuesday’s session early due to back problems.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Mainz coach Bo Henriksen said a final decision would be made after Friday’s training.

“He had a bit of a problem on Wednesday, but it was slightly better yesterday,” Henriksen said.

“He needs to train today if he’s going to be able to play tomorrow. We’ll have to see how he feels later.”

If Zentner is unavailable, Lasse Rieß is ready to step in.

“We also have a very capable second goalkeeper. Lasse will be ready if Robin can’t play,” Henriksen added.
