Viktor Skrypnyk has made two changes to his Werder Bremen side as they return to Bundesliga action against Mainz 05 at the Coface Arena.

Ludovic Obraniak is back in the team to replace Izet Hajrovic in a move which is likely to see Fin Bartels join Franco Di Santo up front.

There is also a recall for Zlatko Junuzovic, who returns in midfield for the visitors as a replacement for Levent Aycicek.

Shinji Okazaki once again leads the line for Mainz, but there is no room in the team for either Filip Djuricic or Sami Allagui, who are both named on the bench for the hosts.

Mainz: Karius, J. Diaz, Bell, Bungert, Brosinski, Baumgartlinger, Geis, Koo, Malli, Samperio, Okazaki

Werder Bremen: Wolf, Gebre Selassie, Prodl, Galvez, Garcia, Kroos, Fritz, Junuzovic, Obraniak, Bartels, Di Santo
