Mainz 05 without Widmer for now vs Hamburger SV
Silvan Widmer is provisionally out after a last-minute absence against the Hamburger SV, with Mainz 05 sharing his diagnosis on Thursday.
Mainz 05 will have to plan without Silvan Widmer for their next match after the captain missed the game due to a late withdrawal in the fixture against the Hamburger SV, according to kicker.
Diagnosis made public
As kicker reports, Widmer was unavailable for that contest and the club released the medical diagnosis on Thursday. With that update, Mainz 05 confirmed that the captain must remain sidelined for now.
Beyond the medical bulletin itself, the issue is big for the squad: Widmer is not only a regular starter but also a key leadership figure, so his absence impacts both defensive structure and how the team builds play from the back.
What to expect next
The immediate question is how quickly the situation improves and when Widmer can return to full training. For now, kicker makes clear that Mainz will have to cope without him in the short term and wait for the next evolution of the injury.
