Frederik Ronnow - Blown away in loss Ronnow had four saves and allowed five goals in Saturday's 5-1 defeat to Bayern Munich.

Impact Ronnow faced nine shots during Saturday's loss, and while he stopped four of them it was still a one-sided rout. The goalkeeper has been afforded very little help by the defenders in front of him and despite some good performances it's led to some brutal stat lines for Ronnow, especially against top opponents.

Brenden Aaronson - Quiet in loss Aaronson registered two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 5-1 defeat versus Bayern Munich.

Impact Aaronson only created a single chance during Saturday's one-sided loss. He didn't have many chances on the ball and even the chances he did have weren't overly productive. Still the attacking midfielder has shown some signs of life in recent weeks, potentially giving him some upside heading into the offseason.

Robin Gosens - Assists Saturday Gosens assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 5-1 loss against Bayern Munich.

Impact Gosens was back on the scoresheet with an assist during Saturday's clash. The wing-back did well with his chances, but he didn't have many of those chances against a dominant Bayern side. Gosens remains a strong attacking option, but Union have struggled recently and that's limited some of Gosens upside.

Yorbe Vertessen - Nets despite loss Vertessen scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 5-1 loss to Bayern Munich.

Impact Vertessen got on the scoresheet in one of the toughest matches of the season, but on the whole it was a disappointing loss. Still even just scoring against Bayern is a huge accomplishment for Vertessen while he tries to get up to speed in the Bundesliga. Vertessen will hope to keep this rolling in the final matches of the season.

Yorbe Vertessen - Available to face Bayern Vertessen (strain) is among the substitutes for Saturday's clash with Bayern.

Impact Vertessen missed last week's match against Augsburg with the injury, but had started four straight fixtures scoring once and providing an assist prior to the injury. Vertessen settles for a role on the bench to begin Saturday's contest with Kevin Volland starting in his place.

APRIL 18 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Tousart - Available Saturday Tousart is available for Saturday's clash with Munich after serving a one-match ban.

Impact Tousart has seen three yellow cards in his last four matches and that run of poor behavior saw him suspended against Augsburg. The midfielder is a consistent starting option, but he will need to be more disciplined so he can stay on the pitch in the closing stages of the Bundesliga.

Robin Gosens - Suspension served Gosens served a one-match ban and is eligible for Saturday's clash with Munich.

Impact Gosens picked up the ban due to a pair of yellow cards that saw him sent off. The defender is available once more, and should compete for a spot in the starting XI, potentially pushing Josip Juranovic or Christopher Trimmel to the bench. Gosens started almost every match he was fit for before the ban.

APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE

Jerome Roussillon - Still out Roussillon (calf) is set to miss Friday's trip to Augsburg, Kicker is reporting.

Impact Roussillon is still struggling with a calf injury and will miss yet another match. The defender has pretty much exclusively been a bench option of late, and even with injuries to the rest of the team it seems like he won't be a major loss to the starting XI.

Andras Schafer - Middling display in loss Schafer had one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen.

Impact Schafer had a decent outing versus Leverkusen despite his side being stifled in an attacking sense, failing to put a single shot on target. He made four tackles without winning any and made two interceptions and a block as most of his contributions came on the defensive end.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Kral - Takes two shots as substitute Kral had two shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Bayer Leverkusen.

Impact Kral came onto the pitch with his side chasing a result which allowed him to be exrta aggressive in his cameo, taking two shots but failing to hit the target with either. He has made his last five appearances off the bench and he appears to be locked into a rotational role for his side.

Frederik Ronnow - Seven saves in loss Ronnow made seven saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 loss versus Bayer Leverkusen.

Jakob Busk - Picks up injury Busk will be forced to miss Saturday's match against Bayer Leverkusen due to an apparent injury, according to manager Christian Arbeit.

Impact Busk is set to head to the sidelines for a bit, as he has gone down injured in the build-up to Saturday's contest. However, the goalie has yet to play in a match this season, as he is third in line as an option in net, so his loss will be minimal for the club. He will look for a return next week when the club faces Augsburg on April 12.

APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE

Jerome Roussillon - Out with injury Roussillon will be out for Saturday's match against Bayer Leverkusen due to an apparent injury, according to manager Christian Arbeit.

Impact Roussillon is heading back to the sidelines for a third time this season due to injury, as he appears to have picked up an injury this week in training, leaving him out for Saturday. Luckily for the club, this shouldn't affect much, with the defender only having served in a rotational role since Jan 13, having earned one start during that time.

Andras Schafer - Ban served Schafer served a two-match ban and is eligible for Saturday's clash with Leverkusen.

Impact Schafer served the two-match ban which has now sidelined him for more than a month. The midfielder is a big piece of the starting XI and now that he is eligible once more he should be in for a large role in the coming days. Schafer will likely partner Lucas Tousart in central midfield.

Benedict Hollerbach - Fit for bench role Hollerbach (ankle) is on the bench for Union during Saturday's match against Frankfurt.
