Manager Henriksen talked about the Sano Kaisen incident in an interview.
"I really hope he comes to the team tomorrow. Everyone at the club is hoping he will come soon, but I'm afraid it will not be the case. We'll have to wait and see how things develop in the future, after all, the situation is still unclear."
"Since it's out of our control, we shouldn't go and worry too much about it, it's something we can't get involved in and it's important to do our job. It's clear to me that the players are doing what's within their scope."
As a highly-regarded young player, Kaisenori Sano's arrest and admission of the charges is a major blow to both the team and his career as an individual. Currently, FC Mainz will have to re-evaluate the future of Kaisenori Sano as events unfold further.
