Mainz 05 will have to manage without their first-choice goalkeeper until further notice.

The Bundesliga outfit confirmed on Tuesday that Robin Zentner picked up a hand injury in Mainz's 1-3 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt at the weekend.

As a result, the 31-year-old will be sidelined for the coming weeks, with his return depending on his individual recovery process.

Alexander Schwolow, who already started Mainz's 5-0 win over Hamburger SV on Matchday 2 in Zentner's absence, will deputise for the time being.

Mainz face crisis-hit Borussia Mönchengladbach at the weekend in their last game before the international break.
