Final training is done and dusted and the bags are packed. At 17:00 CEST, Werder's plane departs for Frankfurt, where the team will hop on the bus to Mainz. It's a journey that Levin Öztunali will not be making though, as a bruised foot has kept him out of the matchday squad. The 19-year-old has been replaced by Levent Aycicek, who makes a Bundesliga squad for the first time this season. Manager Viktor Skripnik will be able to call on centre back Jannik Vestergaard for the meeting with the Zerofivers, after the big Dane missed last week's narrow loss to FC Bayern with a cold.

The full 18-man squad travelling to Mainz: Zetterer, Wiedwald - Santiago García, Gálvez, Lukimya, Vestergaard, Fritz, Aycicek, Pizarro, Junuzovic, Ulisses García, Ujah, Bartels, Gebre Selassie, Grillitsch, Lorenzen, Eggestein and Bargfrede.
