Speaking to the media in advance of Mainz 05's clash with Craiova, Bo Henriksen gave a squad update and insights into their Romanian hosts. 

“Phillipp Mwene is unavailable due to illness, Anthony Caci is still injured. Otherwise everyone is available, fit and ready for tomorrow's match.

“We have great respect for this task and know that a big challenge awaits us with the match in Craiova.

"We have already seen the stadium, the pitch is superb – so there are no excuses and it will be a lot of fun to be on the pitch here.

“Of course, in our analysis we highlighted one or two players from our upcoming opponent and pointed out their qualities to our team.

“We know that they have very good players in their ranks, including national team players - from our point of view, we have to counter that,” he added. 

Henriksen's side currently sit third in the Uefa Conference League table on 9 points and only trail Samsunspor and Celje on goal difference.
