Anthony Caci
28-Year-Old
FSV Mainz 05
Bundesliga
Features off bench
Caci (groin) made his long-awaited return from injury, coming off the bench for 16 minutes in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Freiburg.
ANALYSIS
Caci has been sidelined since September with a partial rupture of his right adductor tendon, making his return to competitive action a remarkable achievement in itself. The appearance against his former club Strasbourg added an extra layer of significance to the comeback, and the 16 minutes of action is exactly the kind of controlled reintegration the staff had in mind. Caci will now build his fitness gradually through further appearances before pushing for a starting role as Mainz head into the final stretch of the season.

Slim chance to return next week
Caci (groin) has a slim chance of making the squad for next Thursday's Conference League return leg against Strasbourg, according to coach Urs Fischer, per Alsasports. "Titi resumed training yesterday and is coming back well. A lot can happen in eight days. We will follow his evolution closely. If I put the player on the match sheet, he will need to be capable of playing at least 15 minutes, so I will take no risks."
