FC Union Berlin Team News - Soccer

Rani Khedira - Joins World Cup training camp Khedira (undisclosed) has arrived at the Tunisia training camp for the World Cup, according to Issa Said of Africa Soccer.com.

Impact Khedira ended the season on the sidelines after a knock left him out for the season finale. However, the midfielder already seems to be nearing full fitness again after the short break, as he quickly joined his national team's training camp after the season. He is set to be a key midfielder for the team and is set to be a starter, so his availability in training already is bright, likely to start from the beginning of the tournament. That said, he is coming off a solid season where he recorded five goals and one assist in 32 appearances with Union Berlin.

Carl Klaus - Clean sheet in season finale Klaus registered one save and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 4-0 win against FC Augsburg.

Impact Klaus didn't have much work, but even if he hadn't kept a clean sheet, the offense provided him with enough support. Klaus made his season debut April 24 in the Leipzig fixture when Frederik Ronnow (groin) was forced off, and he posted solid numbers. In three starts, he kept one clean sheet, allowed three goals and made six saves.

Jeong Woo-yeong - Closes out scoring in win Jeong scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 4-0 victory versus FC Augsburg.

Impact Jeong closed out the scoring for Union and netted the team's final goal of the 2025/26 season when he took advantage of a loose ball and a rebound to fire home from close range. Jeong scored four goals and added one assist this season, but he was mostly a bench option throughout the year when healthy. He started in just 13 of his 28 Bundesliga outings in 2025/26.

Andras Schafer - Scores, assists in win Schafer scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and two chances created in Saturday's 4-0 win over FC Augsburg.

Impact Schafer gave Union Berlin a commanding 3-0 lead in the second half with a thunderous strike from outside the box that sneaked into an impossible angle for Finn Dahmen. He had already set up a goal contribution before, as he set up the first goal on a loose ball that he touched at the right time to allow Andrej Ilic to score. Schafer finished the 2025/26 season with two goals and one assist in 28 appearances (16 starts), meaning that he had recorded just one goal contribution in the entire season before the final game of the campaign. That's not surprising, as his role of holding midfielder isn't really tied to what he can do on the attacking third.

Livan Burcu - Credited with assist in win Burcu assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and two corners in Saturday's 4-0 win versus FC Augsburg.

Impact Burcu was credited with an assist in Union's third goal, though he simply connected on a short pass with Andras Schafer, who blasted an unstoppable shot into the upper 90 past Finn Dahmen. Burcu recorded a goal and an assist in his last three league appearances, but those would end up being the lone goal contributions he recorded throughout the 2025/26 campaign.

Andrej Ilic - Nets twice in season finale Ilic scored two goals to go with three shots (three on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 4-0 victory against FC Augsburg.

Impact Ilic broke the deadlock for Union Berlin in the 10th minute when a loose ball fell to him, allowing him to find the back of the net into the open goal. He later added another tally just before the end of the first half, as he received an aerial assist from Oliver Burke before firing an unstoppable shot from outside the box. It was a great way to end the season for Ilic, who capped the 2025/26 season with five goals and nine assists across 32 appearances (24 starts) in 2,256 minutes. He wasn't able to replicate the seven goals he scored in 16 appearances in 2024/25, but he was far more collaborative in the build-up, as evidenced by the nine assists.

Impact Burke delivered the assist that led to Union's second goal with a perfect header that set up Andrej Ilic. Burke was a regular starter for Union Berlin for most of the 2025-26 season, appearing in the XI in 21 of his 29 league contests. He finished the campaign with six goals and two assists.

Robert Skov - Unused substitute in season finale Skov (calf) is back in the matchday squad for Saturday's clash against Augsburg for the first time since Matchday 3, the club posted.

Impact Skov returns to the fold after a calf injury sustained in mid-September kept him sidelined for many months, with the Danish winger working his way gradually back through training to earn a place in the squad for the final fixture of the season. He started each of Union Berlin's first three matches before the injury struck, and his comeback for the Augsburg clash is a welcome development ahead of next campaign. The club will hope to have him fully recharged and ready to contribute from the very start of next season if he remains at the club. He ends the season with 13 crosses, six tackles, two interceptions and seven clearances in three Bundesliga starts.

Derrick Kohn - Available moving forward Kohn has served his one-match suspension and is no longer suspended.

Impact Kohn had been forced to sit out the season finale against Augsburg after picking up his fifth yellow card during the win over Mainz, ending the domestic campaign with three goal involvements across 29 appearances (21 starts). The Ghanaian international will now shift his focus entirely to the World Cup this summer before returning to Union Berlin ahead of the 2026/27 season, with the club looking forward to having him back in the fold once the tournament concludes.

Rani Khedira - Ruled out for season finale Khedira (undisclosed) has been ruled out of Sunday's season finale against Augsburg due to a slight knock, the club posted.

Impact Khedira ends his time at Union Berlin on an unfortunate note, missing the final fixture of the season through injury. The midfielder bows out having produced a career-best campaign with five goals, one assist, 26 crosses, 59 tackles, 37 interceptions and 67 clearances across 32 Bundesliga appearances, leaving a lasting impression during what has been a significant final chapter of his Union Berlin story. His focus will now be to be fully fit to feature for Tunisia at the World Cup.

Carl Klaus - Signs contract extension Klaus signed a contract extension with Union Berlin after stepping up impressively as a surprise starter following injuries to both Frederik Ronnow and Matheo Raab, the club announ...

Impact Klaus had been the club's third-choice option before being thrown into his Bundesliga debut in the 31st minute of the Leipzig fixture when Frederik Ronnow (groin) was forced off, immediately making an impression with a spectacular fingertip save onto the crossbar. He went on to start the subsequent fixtures against Koln and Mainz, winning both with confident performances that showcased his quality and composure under pressure. Sporting director Horst Heldt praised Klaus for his discipline, will and team spirit since day one, noting that having their third-choice goalkeeper step in without hesitation is far from guaranteed and speaks to his quality. Klaus himself expressed deep gratitude for the opportunity to fulfil a lifelong dream at Bundesliga level, pledging to continue giving everything for the club and its fans in the seasons ahead.

Janik Haberer - Available for season finale Haberer (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's season finale against Augsburg after not being listed in the injury report by coach Marie-Louise Eta, according to the club.

Impact Haberer had missed last Sunday's win against Mainz after picking up an injury during the final training session before the fixture, but his omission from the injury report ahead of the weekend is a clean bill of health heading into the final fixture of Union Berlin's season. The midfielder should push to feature against Augsburg as the club looks to end the campaign on a positive note.
