Remains out for time being

Leitsch (thigh) remained absent from team training and is a ruled out for the time being, according to Allgemeinen Zeitung.

Analysis: Leitsch has been dealing with a left thigh muscle injury and has now missed multiple consecutive games, having last featured on Dec. 5 against Gladbach and leaving his availability for the final stretch of the season uncertain. The defender has been mainly a depth option for Mainz this season with just three appearances all campaign, so his continued absence has a limited impact on the starting lineup.

Will remain out

Leitsch (thigh) is out for Saturday's match against Bayern Munich, according to manager Urs Fischer.

Analysis: Leitsch is not yet an option and is out for another match, still dealing with a thigh injury. This is mainly a loss of depth for the club, as the defender has either been injured or unused most of the season. He will hope a return can come in the final three games of the season, only appearing three times all season.
