Felix Uduokhai - Ends suspension Uduokhai is no longer banned and is an option for his club again.

Impact Uduokhai is back from his two-match skid on the bench, having missed out due to a red card in his last appearance. Luckily for Union Berlin, this will mean they gain back a regular starter, starting in six straight games before the ban. He will now look to return to that role after the international break.

Andrej Ilic - Named on bench against Freiburg Ilic (illness) has been named on Union Berlin's bench for Sunday's Bundesliga clash against Freiburg after recovering from appendix surgery.

Impact Ilic returns to the matchday squad after an extended absence following food poisoning and subsequent appendix surgery. The striker recently completed his first full week of team training but has yet to make a Bundesliga appearance this season. His lack of competitive minutes suggests he could be eased back into action, with a substitute appearance potentially marking his return. The upcoming international break should provide additional time to regain full match fitness before competing for a more significant role in Union Berlin's attack.

Andrej Ilic - Could return Sunday Ilic (illness) has completed a full week of team training ahead of Sunday's Bundesliga clash against Freiburg, although his availability remains uncertain, according to coach Mauro...

Impact Ilic has made significant progress in his recovery after undergoing appendix surgery following an initial bout of food poisoning. The striker has yet to make a Bundesliga appearance this season and is still working toward regaining full match fitness. His return to regular training is encouraging, but his lack of competitive minutes could limit his involvement Sunday even if he is included in the matchday squad.

Aljoscha Kemlein - Out against Freiburg Kemlein (undisclosed) will miss Sunday's Bundesliga clash against Freiburg, according to coach Mauro Lustrinelli.

Impact Kemlein remains unavailable for Sunday's encounter, although the nature of his absence has not been specified. The midfielder has played just 75 minutes across Union Berlin's last five Bundesliga matches, primarily serving as a substitute. His absence should have a limited impact on the starting lineup, though it reduces the team's midfield depth heading into the international break.

Marvin Friedrich - Busy defensively in first start Friedrich had five tackles (four won), five clearances and one interception in Sunday's 1-1 draw against 1. FC Koln.

Impact Friedrich made his first start for Union Berlin since returning to the club this summer. He had a brilliant defensive display as his side drew 1-1 against Koln. He won four of his five tackles and made five clearances while also making two blocks.

Tim Skarke - Assists opener in 1-1 draw Skarke assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against 1. FC Koln.

Impact Skarke provided his first assist of the season as he helped his side open the scoring, where they would draw 1-1 against Koln. This was his fourth start of the season and having been on the bench for the first four games of the season, he has started four in a row. This was the first start of the season in which he has created an assist.

Janik Haberer - Scores opener in 1-1 draw Haberer scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus 1. FC Koln.

Impact Haberer scored the first goal of the game as his side would go on to draw 1-1 with Koln. This was the second goal of the season and both goals have come in the last two matches. He has started the last five matches, having started the first three games of the season on the bench. He has put four shots on target this season, but this is the first time he has attempted two shots in a game.

Frederik Ronnow - One save in 1-1 draw Ronnow had one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against 1. FC Koln.

Impact Ronnow played his seventh game of the season, having missed the opening game of the season. He has picked up two clean sheets this season and conceded one in each of his last two games. The three games before that saw him concede 14 goals in the three games before that.

Robert Skov - Ruled out against Koln Skov (undisclosed) remains sidelined with an unspecified injury and will miss his third consecutive Bundesliga match Sunday against Koln, with no timeline established for his retur...

Impact Skov is dealing with another physical setback after returning from injury in September. The winger has occasionally been included in Union Berlin's matchday squads since his comeback but has yet to make another competitive appearance. He is now set to miss his third consecutive Bundesliga fixture, with the nature and severity of his latest injury still unclear. His continued absence is unlikely to significantly affect Union's starting lineup, although his return timeline remains uncertain.

Josip Juranovic - Available against Koln Juranovic (Achilles/illness) has resumed team training and is available for Sunday's Bundesliga clash against Koln after missing Union Berlin's last four league matches, according...

Impact Juranovic has recovered from Achilles discomfort and a subsequent illness that kept him sidelined for four consecutive Bundesliga matches. The right-back returned to full team training Friday and is now available for selection against Koln. Having started Union Berlin's first three league matches and recorded two assists, Juranovic was a regular starter before his absence. However, Janik Haberer has been covering the right flank, leaving Juranovic's immediate role uncertain as he works his way back into the lineup.

Felix Uduokhai - Two-match suspension confirmed Uduokhai has been handed a two-match Bundesliga suspension following his straight red card during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Augsburg, although he remains eligible for Tuesday's D...

Impact Uduokhai was dismissed in the 19th minute against Augsburg after denying a clear goalscoring opportunity, with the disciplinary committee confirming a two-match league ban. The center-back will miss Union Berlin's upcoming Bundesliga encounters against Koln and Freiburg, extending his absence beyond the initially anticipated one-match suspension. Although he remains eligible for Tuesday's cup fixture against Koln, his participation is uncertain after he apparently sustained an injury during the incident that led to his dismissal. Further assessment will determine whether he can feature in the cup, while his Bundesliga return will have to wait until after the November international break.

Kastriot Imeri - Available after injury absence Imeri (undisclosed) is available for Tuesday's DFB-Pokal clash against Koln after missing Saturday's Bundesliga encounter against Augsburg, according to coach Mauro Lustrinelli. "K...

Impact Imeri returns to contention after missing Union Berlin's previous match against Augsburg due to an unspecified injury sustained during the 0-0 draw against Borussia Dortmund, when he was forced off at halftime. The midfielder is now cleared to rejoin the matchday squad, although it remains uncertain whether he will immediately reclaim a starting role or begin on the bench. His return provides Union with an additional midfield option ahead of a busy schedule, with another encounter against Koln awaiting in the Bundesliga on Sunday.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Jeong Woo-yeong - Quiet effort in draw Jeong generated one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Augsburg.

Impact Jeong was a source of danger with the ball at his feet, and the three fouls he drew were a game-high figure in an otherwise unimpressive outing. The end product keeps eluding him, though, as he went without a goal or an assist for the seventh straight match. The drought is a long one, but his production of a few shots per game and occasional dribbles has stayed intact. He'll look to retain some offensive upside for as long as he stays active in the rotation with Oliver Burke.

Janik Haberer - Scores equalizer versus Augsburg Haberer scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Augsburg. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 31st minute...

Impact Haberer pulled Union level by finishing from the six-yard box in the 74th minute, while his defensive work away from that moment was fairly modest throughout the match. The yellow card was his third in as many matches, so the bookings are starting to pile up alongside the production. He opened the season as a midfield option but ultimately settled in as the right-sided defender since Josip Juranovic (Achilles/illness) went down, which gives him a clear role for now.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Zeno Van Den Bosch - Posts nine clearances in draw Van Den Bosch had nine clearances and one interception in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Augsburg.

Impact Van Den Bosch struggled in individual duels, but his clearance volume made up for it in a match where his side conceded once. It was the second consecutive start in which he reached nine clearances, and the team has allowed just one goal in the three games since he claimed a spot in the initial lineup. That makes him an interesting contributor within the back four, even though his value is tied almost entirely to the defensive columns, as he brings very little going forward.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Frederik Ronnow - Makes four saves against Augsburg Ronnow had four saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Augsburg.

Impact Ronnow was beaten only by a header after holding firm for most of the afternoon as his side secured one point on the road. He has turned things around following a rough start to the season, conceding just one goal across his last three matches. The improvement in front of him has trimmed his workload, so his 4.7 saves per game, while still ranking fourth in the league, now sits a touch lower than before. Back-to-back meetings with Koln are next, one in cup play and one in the Bundesliga, against a side that has been shut out in two straight contests.

Felix Uduokhai - Sent off against Augsburg Uduokhai received a straight red card during Saturday's Bundesliga clash against Augsburg after bringing down an opponent as the last defender and will miss the upcoming encounter...

Impact Uduokhai will serve a one-match suspension after being sent off during Saturday's encounter against Augsburg for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity. The German center-back brought down an opposing attacker who had broken through Union Berlin's defensive line, prompting the referee to issue a straight red card. His dismissal rules him out of the upcoming Bundesliga fixture against Koln, although he is expected to return to contention for the Nov. 8 clash against Freiburg, provided the suspension remains limited to one match. Uduokhai joined Union Berlin permanently from Besiktas over the summer, bringing extensive Bundesliga experience to the club's defensive rotation. His absence will force Union to adjust its back line against Koln, with another defender expected to step into the starting lineup.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Josip Juranovic - Ruled out against Augsburg Juranovic (Achilles/illness) is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Augsburg.

Impact Juranovic is not ready to return after Achilles discomfort and a subsequent illness delayed his comeback. Although the right-back has resumed team training, he misses a fourth straight Bundesliga match after sitting out against Bayern, Elversberg and Borussia Dortmund. He still needs more time to regain the fitness required for competitive action. Union remain without a right-sided option who registered two assists across their opening three league matches.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Kastriot Imeri - Not an option Saturday Imeri (undisclosed) is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Augsburg.

Impact Imeri is not ready to return from the unspecified injury that forced him off at halftime during Union Berlin's 0-0 draw against Borussia Dortmund. The midfielder remained doubtful ahead of a late assessment and needs more recovery time before returning to action. His absence leaves coach Mauro Lustrinelli with one fewer midfield option as Union begin a stretch of three matches in a week. His availability for the remaining fixtures will depend on his recovery progress.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Andrej Ilic - Still unavailable Ilic (illness) will miss Saturday's Bundesliga clash against Augsburg as he continues recovering from appendix surgery, according to Berliner Zeitung.

Impact Ilic remains sidelined following appendix surgery after an initial bout of food poisoning, with his recovery taking longer than initially anticipated. The striker has been gradually rebuilding his fitness through individual rehabilitation work, although he has yet to return to competitive action. He has not made a Bundesliga appearance this season and will remain unavailable for Saturday's encounter against Augsburg. No definitive return date has been established, but his continued absence leaves Union Berlin without another option in attack.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Stanley Nsoki - Remains out for the time being Nsoki (calf) remains sidelined for the time being as he continues recovering from a long-term injury, according to Berliner Zeitung.

Impact Nsoki remains unavailable after suffering a calf injury that has kept him sidelined for approximately two months. The center-back had recently resumed team training but has yet to regain sufficient fitness to return to competitive action. He has not featured in the Bundesliga this season and remains out for the time being, with no definitive timeline established for his comeback. His continued absence leaves Union Berlin without an additional defensive option as he works toward regaining full fitness.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Josip Juranovic - Could return against Augsburg Juranovic (Achilles/illness) has resumed team training after recovering from his recent fitness issues, although his availability for Saturday's Bundesliga clash against Augsburg r...

Impact Juranovic has made progress in his recovery after initially dealing with Achilles discomfort before the international break, followed by an illness that further delayed his return. The Croatian right-back has now rejoined team training after missing Union Berlin's recent matches against Elversberg and Borussia Dortmund, although he has yet to be confirmed as available for Saturday's trip to Augsburg. Juranovic started Union's opening three Bundesliga matches and registered two assists before his absence. His return to training is an encouraging step, but his involvement this weekend remains uncertain as he works toward regaining full match fitness.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Oliver Burke - Available to face Augsburg Burke (illness) is available for Saturday's Bundesliga clash against Augsburg after recovering from illness and completing a full week of training, according to coach Mauro Lustrin...

Impact Burke has recovered from the illness that forced him to miss Union Berlin's 0-0 draw against Borussia Dortmund and is back in contention for Saturday's trip to Augsburg. The Scottish attacker completed the entire training week without setbacks, suggesting he is ready to return to the matchday squad. However, having also recently endured a lengthy injury absence, Burke could initially be limited to a substitute role as he continues rebuilding his match fitness. His return provides Union with additional attacking depth ahead of the weekend encounter.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Livan Burcu - Available after illness Burcu (illness) has recovered and is available for Saturday's Bundesliga clash against Augsburg, according to coach Mauro Lustrinelli. "Livan is healthy again."

Impact Burcu is back in contention after missing Union Berlin's 0-0 draw against Borussia Dortmund due to illness. The attacker had previously scored the winning goal in the 1-0 victory over Elversberg, recording three shots, including one on target, before being sidelined. His recovery provides Union with an additional attacking option ahead of Saturday's trip to Augsburg, although his immediate return to the starting lineup remains uncertain. With Kastriot Imeri (undisclosed) doubtful for the match, Burcu could benefit from increased opportunities in attack.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Kastriot Imeri - Doubtful for Augsburg clash Imeri (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's Bundesliga clash against Augsburg after being forced off at halftime against Borussia Dortmund, according to coach Mauro Lustrine...

Impact Imeri remains uncertain for Saturday's encounter against Augsburg after picking up an unspecified injury during Union Berlin's 0-0 draw against Borussia Dortmund, which forced him off at halftime. The 25-year-old midfielder has yet to receive clearance to return, with a final decision on his availability expected following Friday's assessment. With Union facing three matches in a short period, the club could opt for a cautious approach rather than risk aggravating the issue.
