Zidan is currently injured

Mainz fell into the 15th sport in the table in absence of Zizou who is currently unavailable due to knee injury. Their away clash with the 11th side in the Bundesliga table FC Nuremberg ended in a 3-0 loss.

An early goal in the 3rd minute via Ivan Saenko put the homeside in the lead and Mainz couldn't recover from the early shock and get back to the game. In the 2nd half, Stefan Kiessling scored the 2nd goal in the 68th minute and Robert Vittek added the 3rd in the 80th minute of the game.

Conor Casey played alongside the topsorer of Mainz Michael Thurk instead of the injured Egyptian but both couldn't score throughout the game.

Despite the defeat, Mainz can still avoid relegation. Their next match in the Bundesliga will be on Saturday versus Hannover and Zizou won't be available to feature in it as well.
