Sends in five crosses Trimmel crossed five times inaccurately and made four tackles (winning all four) during Saturday's 2-1 win over Dortmund.

Impact Trimmel was held off the scoresheet, but led Union with five crosses in the match. The start was Trimmel's first since the opening match of the season and while his playing time has thinned he's always a source of crosses due to a role on corner kicks when in the lineup.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Extends contract Trimmel has agreed to a contract extension with Union Berlin, the club announced Thursday.

Impact Trimmel will remain in Union Berlin for a tenth season, as he has agreed to a one-year extension with the club. He has played a rotational role this season, starting in 19 of his 28 appearances, and likely holding the same role next season. However, with the midfielder now being 37, he is probably nearing the end of his career, with this likely being one of his last contracts in professional football.

MAY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Sets up goal in Saturday's loss Trimmel assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), nine crosses (three accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 3-2 loss against 1. FC Koln.

Impact Trimmel set up Robin Knoche's opening goal with a perfect cross from a corner kick, and the talented midfielder was a constant threat due to his role in set pieces. Trimmel is expected to play a prominent role in the final game of the season against Freiburg on Saturday, as Union Berlin are still not saved from relegation with one game left in the schedule.

MAY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Eight crosses in start Trimmel recorded eight crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 2-1 win against Werder Bremen.

Impact Since his two-game suspension from the first half of February, Trimmel has alternated between reserve and starter. Ideally for him, his latest log helped him cement the latter role for future matchups. He attempted eight crosses, his highest amount in that category since January. Trimmel has logged more than five crosses in three of his last four starts, a level of form that indicates how threatening he can be from the flank when given quality opportunities to play.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

Suspension served Trimmel served a two-match ban and is now eligible to return for Saturday's trip to Hoffenheim.

Impact Trimmel was shown a straight red card against Leipzig and missed two matches in a row. The right-back should now be straight back in the starting XI, which should shift Alex Kral back into central midfield after deputizing at right wing-back.

Sent off Sunday Trimmel was shown a straight red card and sent off during Sunday's 2-0 loss to Leipzig.

Busy offensively on Sunday Trimmel had one off-target shot, created four chances, sent in 10 crosses (six accurate), made three tackles (all won) and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 1-0 win over Darm...

Impact Trimmel had his second consecutive start, something that didn't happen since he lost his starting spot in November, and made most of the opportunity, having a season high in key passes while racking up double-digit crosses for the sixth time this season. If he keeps playing like this, it would be very hard removing him from the lineup again.

JANUARY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Three crosses against Augsburg Trimmel generated one shot (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against FC Augsburg.

Impact Trimmel wasn't all too productive on Saturday, only registering one shot, two chances created and three crosses in the draw. It was definitely a step down from his normal performances, as he has reached five or more crosses in nine of his 12 appearances this season. He returned to the starting lineup for this match after a two match spell on the bench and should return to his normal starting spot for the club's upcoming matches.

NOVEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Active offensively in loss Trimmel recorded one shot (one on goal), 11 crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus Werder Bremen.

Impact Trimmel had the opnening shot of the match, as he had a shot on target saved in the first minute of play. He carried on to play a key part in his squad's limited attack, sending 11 crosses, but only two that were accurate. Trimmel is now up to 15 accurate crosses through seven league appearances this season.

OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 20 crosses against Werder Trimmel had one off-target shot, created four chances, sent in 20 crosses (seven accurate) and made three tackles (one won) during Saturday's 1-0 win over Werder Bremen.

Impact Trimmel was definitely helped by his role on set pieces but racking up 20 crosses, a season high for him, is impressive under any circunstances. The midfielder lost his starting spot for a period between March and April but ended up starting the last three matches of the campaign. After finishing this campaign with six assists, 35 chances created and 180 crosses over 25 appearances, Trimmel will probably remain an important piece for next season, regardless of his role in the squad.

Impact Trimmel assisted Danilho Doekhi from a set piece yet again Saturday, finding him in the 44th minute for the match's opening goal. He now has three assists in his past two appearances, with all three finding Doekhi's head on set pieces. Trimmel filled up the defensive stat sheet as well, winning all three of his attempted tackles, as well as making three interceptions and four clearances. With a newfound connection with Doekhi and his high volume of crosses each game (averaging over six per game), Trimmel may be a good shout for more assists in the near future.

JANUARY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Trimmel has just two assists despite that, far from his nine assists he totaled in the 2021/22 campaign.
