"We will be in contact with the DFL from Monday to discuss the situation - also with regard to the next game," Mainz sporting director Christian Heidel told Bild.
Because of a COVID-19 outbreak in their squad, Mainz's game against Borussia Dortmund was postponed from today to March 16.
A total of 20 members of the Mainz squad, including 14 players, are currently self-isolating.
The sticking point is that Mainz will not have a goalkeeper available until Friday, just one day before the game against Augsburg, at the earliest.
