Andras Schafer - Still out Schafer (foot) will not be an option for Saturday's match versus Werder Bremen, said manager Urs Fischer.
Impact Schafer is still awaiting to make his his season debut Saturday after missing the first two months with a foot injury. He had only made 10 starts in 16 appearances last campaign as injuries kept him on the sidelines for the last year. This could leave the midfielder as just a bench option until he regain full form.
OCTOBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Josip Juranovic - Out of contention Juranovic (strain) will not be an option for Saturday's match against Werder Bremen, confirmed manager Urs Fischer.
Impact Josip Juranovic will miss his fourth match in a row with a strain. He's already recorded two assists in the Bundesliga, making three starts in four appearances while also totaling 12 chances and 30 crosses (13 won).
OCTOBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
David Datro Fofana - Suspended by team Fofana is set to serve a suspension after failing to shake Urs Fischer's hand following his substitution against Napoli.
Impact Fofana is set to train individually until he is eligible to return to team training Wednesday. He's started six of the 10 matches played, failing to score a goal on 23 shots (nine on target). Both Sheraldo Becker and Kevin Behrens are the favorites to start up top over him.
OCTOBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jerome Roussillon - Training on grass Roussillon (strain) was seen training on the grass Thursday ahead of Saturday's match against Werder Bremen.
Impact Roussillon has missed the last two matches with a strain. He's only been limited to a bench role, starting just once in seven games. Christopher Trimmel has been the favorite to start at left back and is expected to remain like that for the time being.
OCTOBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Danilho Doekhi - Comes off injured Doekhi came off with an undisclosed injury in the second half of Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Napoli.
Impact Doekhi was brought off after a heavy challenge though the nature of the injury is unclear. The defender will likely be replaced by Leonardo Bonucci if he is forced to miss any significant time. Doekhi's first chance to get back on the pitch is a Saturday trip to Werder Bremen.

Harry Maguire, André Onana buy Man United more time to figure things out in Champions League
Laurenz Dehl - Named to UCL bench Dehl (undisclosed) will be a bench option against Napoli on Tuesday.
Impact Dehl would be making his season debut if he gets onto the pitch Tuesday after having dealt with his long-term injury. Even fit, the midfielder will likely struggle for regular minutes with the first team and could find himself playing more with the youth setup.
OCTOBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mikkel Kaufmann - Out for UCL clash Kaufmann (strain) is out for Tuesday's match against Napoli.
Impact Kaufmann will be sidelined yet another match after not making the team sheet, being his fourth straight match missed for the club. He did return to training on Monday and looks poised to join the squad for Saturday's match against Werder.
OCTOBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mikkel Kaufmann - Returns to training Kaufmann (strain) returned to full team training Monday ahead of Tuesday's clash with Napoli.
Impact Kaufmann is back in full team training, which is good, though he isn't likely to be a major contributor in the Champions League. Realistically his first chance to get back on the pitch will be Saturday's trip to Werder back in the Bundesliga.
OCTOBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jerome Roussillon - Sidelined against Napoli Roussillon (undisclosed) is out for Tuesday's clash with Napoli, Union announced,
Impact Roussillon is set for a second match in a row on the sideline due to his undisclosed issue. With Josip Juranovic (undisclosed) also out it would have been a good chance for Roussillon to get some minutes. Instead it will be Christopher Trimmel who continues in the starting XI more likely than not.
OCTOBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Josip Juranovic - Out again Juranovic (undisclosed) is out for Tuesday's clash with Napoli, Union announced.
Impact Juranovic is set to miss a second match in a row with an undisclosed issue. The wing-back is a major loss for Union Berlin, especially with Jerome Roussillon also left on the sideline. Christopher Trimmel should be in line for another start with Juranovic sidelined. His first chance to return is a now a Saturday trip to Werder Bremen.
OCTOBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Christopher Trimmel - Seventeen crosses in loss Trimmel sent in 17 crosses (three accurate) and created two chances in Saturday's 3-0 loss to Stuttgart.
Impact Trimmel was his side's most creative player, managing 17 crosses despite the opposition's dominance. The midfielder has been in and out of the starting XI this season, but has created 13 chances in five starts.
OCTOBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
David Datro Fofana - Two shots in defeat David Fofana came off the bench and attempted two shots (none on target) in Saturday's 3-0 loss to Stuttgart.
Impact David Fofana attempted more shots than any of his teammates, despite only playing the second half. The striker started the first four games of the season, but has recently had to settle for a place on the bench and is still looking for his first goal involvement of the season.
OCTOBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Frederik Ronnow - Concedes three goals Ronnow made two saves and conceded three goals in Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Stuttgart.
Impact Playing behind a leaky defense, Ronnow has been struggling of late with ten goals conceded in his last three. Union have been unable to replicate their form from last season and it would be no surprise to see Ronnow on the wrong end of another hammering when he faces Napoli in the Champions League on Tuesday.
OCTOBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Alex Kral - Plays second half Kral (undisclosed) played the second half during Saturday's 3-0 loss to Stuttgart.
Impact Kral was forced off with an injury in the final match before the international break and was left on the bench Saturday. He was called upon for the entirety of the second half though but failed to accomplish much. With Rani Khedira fit once more it's possible Kral will be more of a bench option. That said Lucas Tousart and Janik Haberer were both brought off at half time so it's possible boss Urs Fischer could make wholesale changes in midfield for Tuesday's match with Napoli.
OCTOBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Robin Knoche - Gets starting nod Saturday Knoche (strain) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's clash against Stuttgart.
Impact Knoche was spotted in team training earlier this week, and he gets the nod here. He will play alongside Diogo Leite and Danilho Doekhi at the back, while Leonardo Bonucci is probably getting rested for the Champions League clash against Napoli next Tuesday.
OCTOBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rani Khedira - Will make season debut Khedira (calf) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Stuttgart.
Impact Khedira is finally fit after missing the first two months of the season, and given he started in each of his 33 league appearances last season, he should remain a regular while sending Alex Kral to the bench.
OCTOBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jerome Roussillon - Won't play Saturday Roussillon (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's clash with Stuttgart, according to manager Urs Fischer.
Impact Roussillon wasn't reported to be dealing with an issue during the international break so it's not clear what injury he suffered is. The left-back will have a limited time to try and get back on the pitch before a Tuesday clash with Napoli. Even when fit Roussillon is more likely than not going to be a rotational option.
OCTOBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Josip Juranovic - Out against Stuttgart Juranovic (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's clash with Stuttgart, according to manager Urs Fischer.
Impact Juranovic is set to miss the first game back from the international break with an undisclosed issue. It's a major loss for Union and leaves a gap on the right side of the midfield. Christopher Trimmel could be called upon to replace Juranovic, though a change in formation is also possible with Jerome Roussillon (undisclosed) also left on the sideline. Juranovic has a short week to recover before a Tuesday Champions League clash with Napoli.
OCTOBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rani Khedira - Aiming for season debut Khedira (calf) has been training fully and could be an option for Saturday's match versus Stuttgart, according to manager Urs Fischer.
Impact Khedira will look to make his 2023/24 debut after missing the first two months of the season with a calf season. After starting all 33 games played last campaign, the midfielder will look to win back his starting midfield role over Alex Kral.
OCTOBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mikkel Kaufmann - Sitting out again Kaufmann (strain) will not be an option for Saturday's match versus Stuttgart, according to manager Urs Fischer.
Impact Kaufmann will miss his third match in a row with a strain. He's only made four appearances off the bench, totaling just 35 minutes of play to open up the season during his first year in Berlin.
OCTOBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Robin Knoche - Back in team training Knoche (strain) returned to team training Monday ahead of Saturday's clash with Stuttgart, Union Berlin announced.
Impact Knoche is back in team training and could reportedly return straight to the starting XI. It's possible that Leonardo Bonucci stays in the starting XI despite Knoche's availability, though it's unclear if that would be at the expense of Knoche, Diogo Leite or Danilho Doekhi.
OCTOBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Aissa Laidouni - Returns to starting XI Laidouni returned to the starting XI for a 4-2 loss to Dortmund before the break.
Impact Laidouni opened the season on fire with three assists in the first five matches before surprisingly falling out of the starting XI for three matches. The midfielder returned to the first XI for the final match before the break but went just 55 minutes. Union Berlin are off to a rough start and have had some major rotation in the first team, making Laidouni a risky option day-to-day.
OCTOBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rani Khedira - Training fully Khedira (calf) returned to full team training Monday, Kicker reports.
Impact Khedira is back in full team training and is targeting a full return after the international break. The midfielder should replace Alex Kral when fully fit once more, providing another defensive option in midfield.
OCTOBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Robin Knoche - Training with ball Knoche (strain) returned to individual training Monday, Kicker reports.
Impact Knoche is back in individual training and was seen working with the ball Monday. The defender is expected to return after the international break, where he will compete with Leonardo Bonucci for the final spot in central defense.
