As the Bundesliga prepares to resume with a midweek "Englischer Woche" ("English Week"), Tauer's absence for a full three fixtures can be confirmed. The defensive midfielder then likely won't be available to Thomas Reis until matchday 21 at the earliest. The Mainz-native had been considered a rather important part of Reis' tactical plans.
