Batz or Zentner? Mainz coach Urs Fischer leaves goalkeeper battle open

Robin Zentner has not been in action since suffering an adductor injury back in November. But that could change at the weekend.

With Mainz’s first-choice goalkeeper nearing full fitness, he could potentially return to the starting XI against St. Pauli at the expense of Daniel Batz .

Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Friday, Mainz coach Urs Fischer neither confirmed nor ruled out the possibility of that happening.

“Let yourself be surprised," Fischer said when asked whether Zentner will be back between the posts on Sunday.

Whether a change will actually happen will become clear on Sunday afternoon when the line-ups are announced.
