Mainz 05 breathes on: Since Costa only strains in the adductor area!

Breathe at Mainz 05! After the injury -related replacement of central defender Danny da Costa during the game against Wolfsburg (3: 4) on Sunday there is now positive news. According to the association, it is only a strain in the adductor area. This means that the worse fears of a serious injury have not arrived. Da Costa has to pause at first, but there is hope that he can return to training next week, how Bild.de reported. It will be particularly crucial whether he will be fit for the end of the season on December 21st in Frankfurt.

Unfortunate time for the injury

The injury comes for Da Costa at a particularly unfavorable time, since he went through an impressive development as a regular player in the last games. In the four games before, he was in the starting eleven and had fought for a permanent place in the defense of the Mainz, after he was often only a supplementary player, like the General newspaper determined. Before the Wolfsburg game, coach Bo Henriksen clearly spoke that he wanted to trust the current line-up of the defense chain. For the upcoming game against Bavaria, the team will have to stand by another player from the triple chain, since the Wolfsburg substitute for Andreas Hanche-Olsen also had to be off.
