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.

The right-back has continued working individually throughout the week and has yet to rejoin team training, leaving him unavailable for Saturday's home matchup against Elversberg.

Impact Juranovic has yet to take the next step in his recovery after Achilles discomfort kept him out before the international break, leaving his status for Saturday's clash with Elversberg up in the air. The right back will likely need to progress to at least partial team training over the remainder of the week to put himself in position to return. He had opened the season in strong form before the setback, starting Union Berlin's first three Bundesliga matches and supplying two assists.

Hopes to resume training next week Juranovic is dealing with an Achilles issue and hopes to return to Union Berlin training next week after missing 7-0 loss to Bayern Munich, according to Jutarnji.

Impact Juranovic was initially listed as absent through illness but is reportedly dealing with Achilles discomfort that has also prevented him from joining Croatia for the international break. The defender had started each of Union Berlin's first three Bundesliga matches before the issue, providing two assists. He is hoping to resume training next week, which would put him in position to work toward a return to action following the international break.

OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Misses Bayern clash Juranovic (illness) has been ruled out of Friday's Bundesliga clash against Bayern Munich after missing training earlier in the week, according to coach Mauro Lustrinelli.

Impact Juranovic will miss his first Bundesliga match of the season after starting each of Union Berlin's opening three league fixtures at right-back. The defender had established himself as the preferred option in the position before illness interrupted his run in the starting XI. Christopher Trimmel is now likely to make his first league start of the campaign against Bayern, though Juranovic should remain the leading option at right-back once he recovers.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable against Bayern Juranovic is questionable for Friday's Bundesliga clash against Bayern Munich after missing Monday's training session due to illness, according to Tagesspiegel.

Impact Juranovic has started at right-back in each of Union Berlin's first three Bundesliga matches this season, establishing himself as the preferred option in the position. His status will depend on his recovery during the week, with Christopher Trimmel likely to make his first league start of the campaign if Juranovic is unable to face Bayern.

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Pair of assists in win Juranovic assisted twice to go with one shot (one on goal), 12 crosses (five accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 3-3 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Impact Juranovic was excellent on the flank during Saturday's draw, he created a pair of assists and sent in 12 crosses while taking five corners. It was an excellent performance during a chaotic, all-offense match. Juranovic is perfect for that type of situation, stretching the field and offering width while sending in a plethora of dangerous crosses. That offensive talent gives him substantial upside.

Assists as substitute Juranovic had an assist while crossing five times (two accurate) and creating two chances during Friday's 3-1 loss to Leipzig.

Impact Juranovic subbed into the match in the 60th minute and set up Danilho Doekhi in the 78th for Union's lone goal. The assist was the first goal involvement this season for Juranovic as he hasn't made a start since January.

APRIL 24 • ROTOWIRE

Option from bench Juranovic (undisclosed) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Werder Bremen.

Impact Juranovic was training fully this week, and that has led to his return, picked for the bench Sunday. He ends a five-game absence as he will look to work back into some starting time, earning two straight starts before his injury.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Trains fully Wednesday Juranovic (undisclosed) trained fully with the team Wednesday and could be an option for Sunday's clash against Bremen, according to Zeit.

Impact Juranovic appears to have shaken off his muscular issues after being spotted back in team training Wednesday and is now in a strong position to be available for Sunday's clash against Bremen. That is a positive development for Union since Juranovic is a regular starter when fully fit, and his return should provide a welcome boost to the squad after a quiet start to the campaign caused by injuries.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Juranovic (undisclosed) remains out for the time being, according to coach Steffen Baumgart.

Impact Juranovic remains out for the time being after suffering a setback following his return from a long-term injury. The left midfielder had started the last two matches for Union Berlin, so his absence is expected to impact the starting XI, with Derrick Kohn likely to step back into a starting role on the left flank until the Croatian returns.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out as precaution Juranovic (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim as a precaution, coach Steffen Baumgart said in the press conference.

Impact Juranovic will miss Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim as a precaution after returning from a long term injury. The left midfielder was in the starting squad in the last two games for Union and therefore his absence will impact the starting XI, with Derrick Kohn likely regaining a starting role on the left flank until the Croatian returns.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

15 crosses in home defeat Juranovic recorded one shot (zero on goal), 15 crosses (six accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 3-0 loss against Borussia Dortmund.

Impact Juranovic made his second start in a row, making it five appearances this season. He is yet to provide a goal involvement. He has attempted 24 crosses in his two starts, taking 12 corners in the two matches. He completed nine crosses in this game to bring him to 11 for the season.

Makes Pokal squad Juranovic (undisclosed) was unused from the bench in Wednesday's 3-2 DFB Pokal loss against Bayern.

Impact Juranovic ended his injury absence Wednesday, only missing two games after he returned to play in DFB Pokal play, going unused from the bench. He is more of a bench option for the club this campaign and should keep this spot moving forward, appearing only two times this season, logging in 27 minutes for Union.

DECEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not available Saturday Juranovic (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Heidenheim.

Impact Juranovic looked close to being back in the fold this week after some time out due to injury, as the defender had been cleared for full training. However he is not available Saturday which delays his opportunity to rebuild rhythm after previously returning from injury only to suffer a setback again having logged just two appearances all season. He has appeared off the bench in both outings and will have to wait longer before pushing for minutes once he is cleared to return.

NOVEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Trains after injury Juranvoic (undisclosed) is back in full training and appears to be an option again, according to manager Steffan Baumgart.

Impact Juranovic looks to be back in the fold this week after some time out due to injury, as the defender has been cleared for full training, likely to play Saturday. This would be good for the defender, as he had previously just returned from injury before going down again, having only played twice all season. That said, he has appeared off the bench in both appearances, likely to be a bench option if fit.

NOVEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Injured again Juranvoic is out for Sunday's match against St. Pauli due to a knock, according to manager Steffen Baumgart. "Josip has picked up a knock."

Impact Juranovic had returned from injury ahead of the international break but is once again injured, with the defender suffering a knock. He will hope his issues are only minor and a return follows soon, although it is a minor loss, only featuring once off the bench all season.

NOVEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starts on bench Saturday Juranovic (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Bayern.

Impact Juranovic has been out since the season opener due to injury but made the bench Saturday, signaling he's fit enough for action. The defender will likely be eased back into the rotation after missing more than two months, with playing time increasing as he builds match fitness. He spent most of last season's second half on the left flank and could return to that position once fully reintegrated.

NOVEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Fit for play Juranovic (undisclosed) is an option for Saturday's match against Bayern Munich, according to manager Steffen Baumgart. "Jura will definitely be in the squad if he reports healthy...

Impact Juranovic has been out since the season opener due to injury, but is now back in the fold for the team, deemed fit to take the field Saturday. This is huge news for the defender, although he will work into the team in a limited manner, slowly regaining minutes after an absence lasting over two months. He did see the majority of the time on the left flank after returning from injury midway through last season, a role he will look to reclaim this season.

NOVEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Saturday Juranovic (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Freiburg.

Impact Juranovic remains unavailable for Saturday's match despite making progress in training earlier last week. The Croatian full-back has not played since the season opener due to injury and will need more time before being considered for selection. Derrick Kohn continues to start on the left flank in his absence.

NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Trains in full, unlikely vs. Bremen Juranovic (undisclosed) was back in full training on Monday but remains unlikely to feature in Friday's clash against Werder Bremen, according to Kicker.

Impact Juranovic missed all the games except the opener due to an injury but has almost fully recovered since he was spotted training in full on Monday. This is good news for Union as he was a regular starter at the end of last season and should be a strong option once available again. Until then, Derrick Kohn continues to start on the left flank.
