Kingsley Coman, Noussair Mazraoui, Tarek Buchmann and Bouna Sarr still injured. We don't expect to play against Mainz. We will also be without Aleksandar Pavlovic due to his suspension.
There's an area between giving up and a statement of intent - and that's called reality. The gap is very big. That's realistic. For us it's about being more stable and finding new stability. That always starts with the next step. We need to win, win, win.
Leverkusen no longer feel us breathing down their neck. We're to blame there. But that doesn't release us from our duty to give everything to win the game.

…MUST WIN

…CHAMPIONSHIP RACE
Leverkusen no longer feel us breathing down their neck. We're to blame there. But that doesn't release us from our duty to give everything to win the game.
Bo Henriksen
Manager on Mainz 05…ABOUT MATCH
I want to see a brave and aggressive team. We have to do what we showed in the first half against Gladbach. We performed better in the second half in Leverkusen. Now, we have to keep this up over a full 90 minutes.
…LACK OF GOAL
We have to convert our chances. We had 21 shots on goal against Gladbach. We shouldn’t need more than 11 or 12 chances to score two or three goals. We’re working on that. If we keep playing like this, I’m confident.
…HOW TO WIN
The aim is to be difficult to read. For me, it’s all about how well we can defend and put that into practice. If we can manage that, then we’ll get chances to score. I want to see an aggressive and courageous team both on and off the ball.
