Niko Giesselmann - Sends in five crosses Giesselmann took an off target shot and crossed five times inaccurately during Friday's 1-0 win over Koln.
Dominique Heintz - Returns to bench Heintz (undisclosed) is on the bench for Friday's clash with Koln.
Impact Heintz is on the bench for Friday's clash with Koln after missing a single match before the international break. Barring injuries ahead of him on the depth chart, Heintz will be remaining on the bench going forward.

Niko Giesselmann - Returns Friday Giesselmann (undisclosed) is back in the starting XI for Friday's clash with Koln.
Impact Giesselmann is back in the starting XI after missing one match before the international break. The midfielder should have no issues returning straight to the starting XI, and should be a consistent fantasy option in the midfield.

Anthony Ujah - Out through illness Ujah (illness) will miss Friday's clash with Koln due to illness, according to manager Urs Fischer.
Impact Ujah is out for Friday's match with Koln, though this changes nothing for fantasy managers. Ujah is at the bottom of the depth chart and has little-to-no fantasy value. The striker will hope to return for a Saturday trip to Hertha.

Andreas Luthe - Struggles in rout Luthe made two saves and one clearance during Saturday's 4-0 loss to Bayern.
Impact Luthe made two saves but was beaten by volume as Bayern Munich put four goals past hi. Munich are one of the best teams in the world and a tough proposition for any keeper. Luthe should have an easier clash with Koln after the international break.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Bastian Oczipka - Five crosses in rout Oczipka sent in five crosses (two accurate) during Saturday's 4-0 loss to Bayern.
Impact Oczipka sent in five crosses during Saturday's loss, though he did little to really influence the match. Bayern controlled every minute of the match and left Oczipka with no room to operate. The defender will hope to bounce back after the international break against Koln.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sheraldo Becker - Two shots in loss Becker shot twice (once on goal) and sent in five crosses during Saturday's 4-0 loss to Bayern.
Impact Becker was the key offensive threat for Union Berlin, both on the ball and creatively. The forward is a relatively consistent fantasy producer, and is worth considering due to his penchant for whipping in crosses. Becker takes on Koln after the international break.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Genki Haraguchi - Starting against Bayern Haraguchi (COVID-19) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Bayern Munich.
Impact Haraguchi is back in the starting XI Saturday after missing the last match with COVID-19. He scored his first goal of the season two starts ago, but playing in Munich will likely limit any opportunities he has in front of net.
MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Niko Giesselmann - Ruled out Giesselmann (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's trip to Munich, according to manager Urs Fischer.
Impact Giesselmann is ruled out and is a major loss for Union Berlin, who will be without their talismanic midfielder. He will be sidelined for one match but should be able to recover to full fitness over the international break. Julian Ryerson may move into the starting XI in place of Giesselmann.
MARCH 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dominique Heintz - Ruled out Saturday Heintz (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's trip to Munich, according to manager Urs Fischer.
Impact Heintz is out for Saturday's clash while dealing with an undisclosed injury. The defender had COVID-19 in February, so it may be complications related to that. Heitnz will hope to return before a clash with Koln after the international break.
MARCH 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Keita Endo - Remains out Endo (leg) is ruled out for Saturday's trip to Munich, according to manager Urs Fischer.
Impact Endo is ruled out for Saturday's trip and will be out until after the international break. Fischer was hopeful that Endo would be able to make a recovery before the end of the international break.
MARCH 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Grischa Promel - Suspended Saturday Promel will be suspended for Saturday's clash with Bayern Munich due to yellow card accumulation.
Impact Promel will be suspended Saturday and is set to be replaced by Sven Michel. Michel has done little since making the move to Union Berlin, but with Promel already agreeing a move to Hoffenheim for the end of the season, this may be Michel's chance to break into the starting XI.
MARCH 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Behrens - Returns to training Behrens (COVID-19) is back in training Tuesday after recovering from COVID-19, according to Union Berlin.
Impact Behrens has recovered from COVID-19 and is back in full team training. The forward isn't a major part of the starting XI, nor a major fantasy option, but he is a worthwhile depth option to return to the first team. Behrens will be available Saturday, against Bayern Munich.

Bundesliga leader Bayern Munich has dropped more points in a 1-1 draw at HoffenheimMARCH 12, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Christopher Trimmel - Plays well at both ends Trimmel had five crosses, three interceptions, five tackles, five fouls, created two chances and sustained one foul in the 1-1 draw with VfB Stuttgart on Saturday.
Impact Having not played in the last match, Trimmel came out ready to put his stamp on this one. While the midfielder is always good for a few crosses, his tackles have been inconsistent. Hopefully he can bring this same ferocity to the next match against Bayern Munich.
MARCH 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sheraldo Becker - Fires in eight crosses Becker had eight crosses, one tackle, created one chance and sustained two fouls in the 1-1 draw with VfB Stuttgart on Saturday.
Impact Though his side went up early just before half time, Becker was not willing to let up on the offensive end. The forward is a very aggressive crosser, though against VfB Stuttgart none of his attempts found the net. Hopefully this will change in the next match against Bayern Munich.
MARCH 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Taiwo Awoniyi - Scores once against Stuttgart Awoniyi had one goal on one shot, one cross, one foul, created two chances and sustained one foul in the 1-1 draw with VfB Stuttgart on Saturday.
Impact In the 41st minute, Awoniyi manged to score the first goal of the match on a penalty. This is the forward's second goal in his last three appearances, so maybe he will get lucky and find another in the next match against Bayern Munich.
MARCH 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Frederik Ronnow - Just misses the clean sheet Ronnow had two saves and conceded one goal in the 1-1 draw with VfB Stuttgart on Saturday.
Impact While Ronnow and his side were up for the entire second half, Sasa Kalajdzic managed to equalize in the 90th minute. Ronnow does not have very consistent playing time, and it is unlikely he will make an appearance in the next match against Bayern Munich.
MARCH 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Andras Schafer - Makes brief return as subsitute Schafer had one interception and three fouls in the 1-1 draw with VFB Stuttgart on Saturday.
Impact After missing the last three matches with a knee injury, Schafer managed to make his return against VFB Stuttgart. The forward only played for 24 minutes though, and may not be ready to make a big contribution against Bayern Munich.
MARCH 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Levin Oztunali - Out Saturday Oztunali (illness) is out for Saturday's clash with Stuttgart in quarantine, according to manager Urs Fischer.
Impact Oztunali is out for Saturday's clash due to quarantining for COVID-19. The midfielder is a very minimal fantasy option and isn't worth considering in any fantasy formats. Oztunali will remain a non-existent fantasy target even when he recovers from his COVID-19 case.
