Suspended for UCL opener Haberer is suspended for Wednesday's UCL match against Real Madrid after earning a red card in the Europa League last season.

Impact Haberer will not feature against Real Madrid after picking up a red card in the last match of last season's Europa League campaign. His absence will definitely hurt Berlin's depth as they take on a powerhouse in Madrid, but won't affect the starting lineup too much as he has played more of a rotational role this season.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Makes bench Sunday Haberer (undisclosed) is on the bench for Sunday's match against RB Leipzig.

Impact Haberer is not ready to go a full 90, but he was fit enough to earn a spot on the bench. The veteran midfielder has yet to make his season debut for Union, but he should be a regular when fit, as evidenced by the fact he made 30 starts out of 32 appearances in 2022-23.

Takes star role Haberer scored five times and assisted once in 32 appearances (30 starts) in the 2022/23 Bundesliga.

Haberer will continue to be a major part of the starting XI in the second half of the Bundesliga.

NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Goes 90 against Braga Haberer (ankle) played the full 90 during Thursday's 1-0 win over Braga.

Impact Haberer was originally a doubt with an ankle injury before surprisingly returning to the starting XI and producing throughout the match.
