Andras Schafer - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

The attacking midfielder will serve his suspension and is lined up to return for the clash with St. Pauli in early April, right after the March international break. In the meantime, Woo-yeong Jeong is expected to step back into his usual starting spot in attacking midfield while Schafer watches from the sidelines.

Impact Schafer sent in a single shot during Friday's clash, as well as sending in a cross. The attacking midfielder had a day to forget for the most part, as he just couldn't get involved in the attack throughout the match.

Impact Schafer picked up a knock heading into last week's match but has avoided a major absence, with the attacker now able to train in full.

Fully trains Schafer (undisclosed) is an option moving forward after training fully, according to manager Steffan Baumgart.

Impact Schafer picked up a knock heading into last week's match but has avoided a major absence, with the attacker now able to train in full.

A bench spto will likely be waiting when ready to play, looking to test his legs before a start.

NOVEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up knock Schafer is out for Sunday's match against St. Pauli, according to manager Steffen Baumgart. "Andres has picked up a knock."

Impact Schafer will not be with the team after the international break, as the attacker has suffered a knock that will keep him sidelined. This is unfortunate for the club, as he has started in their past two games. That said, Christopher Trimmel is a possible replacement while Janik Haberer moves centrally, with Alex Kral as another option.

OCTOBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Late call Friday Schafer (thigh) trained in full and will be a late call for Friday's clash against Werder Bremen, coach Steffen Baumgart said in the press conference.

Impact Schafer missed the last game due to a thigh injury but has shown positive progress as he trained fully with the team this week. The attacking midfielder will be assessed after the final training session to determine if he can be included in the squad on Friday. That said, he has mainly been a bench option this season, so his return won't affect the starting XI.

Suffers thigh problems Schafer trained 50 minutes with a physio on Monday and is likely set for some time on the sidelines due to thigh problems, according to Kicker.

Impact Schafer was a late scratch for Friday's game against Gladbach due to thigh issues and ultimately missed the clash for that reason. The attacking midfielder will likely be assessed in the coming days to be monitored, but a return in the short term is unlikely according to reports. Schafer has mainly been a bench option this season, so his potential absence won't impact the starting squad.

This is solid news for the club after his injury was deemed minor, now looking to return to the starting role he earned last contest. However, he has only started in two of his three appearances on the team sheet this season.

Impact Schafer wasn't fully fit to participate in the game against Portugal, but given the importance of the match for Hungary, he ultimately made the starting squad before being forced off in the 38th minute. Schafer will likely be monitored once back in Berlin to determine if he can be recovered in time for Friday's clash against Borussia Monchengladbach. That said, if he has to miss the game, his absence won't impact the starting XI much for Union since he has started only one of the last four matches he was available for.

OCTOBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Earns bench role Schafer (illness) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Frankfurt.

Impact Schafer was ruled out last match due to illness, but is now on his way back to playing, with the attacker earning a bench spot Sunday. He did start in the season opener, so this is good news for the club, possibly returning to that spot once he tests his legs.

Ruled out Saturday Schafer (illness) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim, coach Steffen Baumgart said in the press conference.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Solid depth option Schafer made 26 appearances (17 starts) in the Bundesliga, scoring and assisting once.

Impact Schafer remains a depth option in Berlin, though he did take on the biggest role this season across his first four campaigns.

Schafer also started six-of-seven matches to end the campaign, a good sign moving forward.

MAY 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Freiburg Schafer (undisclosed) is not in the squad to face Freiburg on Sunday.

Impact Schafer was thought to be available, but misses out on Sunday's match after returning from the international break with a knock. The midfielder will hope to return in time for next week's match against Wolfsburg.

MARCH 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Likely Sunday despite injury Schafer has returned from the international break injured but is expected to undergo testing Saturday and should still be an option, according to manager Steffan Baumgart.

Impact Schafer looks to be a late call after he returned to his club with some knocks following his international duty. However, he appears to still be an option, as he will undergo testing ahead of the match with vibes around the player being high. He did start in their last contest, possibly seeing that spot again if fit.
