+++ Lukimya in squad to face Mainz: Viktor Skripnik is without Santiago Garcia, Luca Caldirola and Marnon Busch for Saturday's game against 1. FSV Mainz 05; however, he does welcome back central defender Assani Lukimya. The Congolese player had been sidelined recently through injury and wasn't included in the squad to face Köln because he became a father for the second time on the eve of the game. Saturday's match comes too soon for Alejandro Galvez, Özkan Yildirim and Julian von Haacke.+++
Here is Viktor Skripnik's 18-man squad for the home game against Mainz:
Wolf, Casteels - Lukimya, Makiadi, Vestergaard, Fritz, Di Santo, Öztunali, Hajrovic, Prödl, Junuzovic, Kroos, Aycicek, Bartels, Gebre Selassie, Selke, Sternberg, Bargfrede.
+++ Favourite opponents: 1. FSV Mainz 05 appear to be one of Franco Di Santo's favourite teams to play against. He scored his first ever Bundesliga brace in the 2-1 victory when the two teams met on matchday 10 and this helped Werder secure their first win of the season. Di Santo also scored his first ever Bundesliga goal against Mainz on 24.11.2013. Hopefully he can continue his good goal scoring record against them on Saturday! +++
