Mainz without national player Amiri in Fischer's debut - Urs Fischer’s Mainz debut marred by Amiri’s absence in Europa Conference League showdown
Urs Fischer will lead Mainz 05 for the first time on December 10, 2025, in a Europa Conference League clash against Lech Poznań. The Swiss manager aims to start his tenure with a victory, hoping to turn around the team's recent struggles. However, a crucial player will be absent from the squad for this important match.
Mainz will face Lech Poznań without Germany midfielder Nadiem Amiri, who sustained a muscle injury in the previous Bundesliga game against Borussia Mönchengladbach. Fischer confirmed the absence but remained optimistic, stating that Amiri's recovery is progressing well. The coach even hinted that the player could return for the upcoming league clash against Bayern Munich.
Fischer's debut will test Mainz's resilience without one of their key players. A win over Lech Poznań would signal a promising start for the new manager and enhance their knockout-stage prospects. The team now gears up for a hectic week, with Amiri's potential return providing a much-needed boost for the Bayern Munich clash.
