Still unavailable

Martel (knee) is still unavailable for selection but should resume partial team training soon, according to coach Urs Fischer. "Martel is still unavailable. Eric is next in line for a return. We'll see then when a partial reintegration is realistic for him."

Analysis: Martel has been sidelined since suffering a knee ligament injury during a preseason friendly against Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai, an issue that has already delayed his competitive Mainz debut past multiple matches. No firm timeline has been established for his return, and his continued recovery will be worth monitoring as the club provides further updates regarding his imminent partial team training.

Analysis: Martel remains sidelined after suffering the knee injury during a preseason friendly against Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai. The midfielder was initially expected to miss several weeks and has yet to recover sufficiently to return to contention.
