Josip Juranovic - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

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 • 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 • 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 • 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.

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 • 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 • 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.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Training alone Juranovic (undisclosed) is training individually Monday, BILD reports.

Impact Juranovic missed the final match before the international break with an undisclosed issue, and is now working individually. The timeline for his return is a Friday clash with Gladbach, though if he can't make a return to team training prior to that it will likely leave him on the sideline.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Set to miss friendly Juranovic (undisclosed) will miss Wednesday's friendly, the club announced.

Impact Juranovic is not going to return during the first friendly of the international break. The defender has been struggling with an injury lately, but returned to full training last week. It's not clear if this was a set back or a new issue, but Juranovic will be a doubt coming out of the break.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Back on injury list Juranvoic (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's match against Leverkusen, according to manager Steffen Baumgart.

Impact Juranovic is unavailable once again despite training fully last week, with the defender back on the injury list after he was thought to have recovered. This is rough, as he held a starting role to end last season before starting this campaign injured. He will now hope for a return following the international break.

OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Trains fully Juranovic (undisclosed) has returned to training and is an option for Sunday's match against Hamburger, according to Matthisas Koch of Kicker.

Impact Juranvoic has missed the past three games but appears to be back as an option, with the defender training fully this week ahead of Sunday's contest. This is great news for the defender, who will now likely earn a spot on the bench Sunday. He only appeared for seven minutes off the bench in his one appearance this campaign, set for a rotational role after 13 starts in 17 appearances last campaign.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Misses late call Juranovic (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Hoffenheim.

Impact Juranovic was ruled out of Saturday's match following a late fitness test, as he continues to battle the effects of an undisclosed issue.

Impact Juranvoic is still battling an undisclosed issue despite training with the Croatian national team over the break, still appearing to feel the drawbacks of his injury. He will be tested again Friday to decide his availability, although he seems to be trending towards missing the match. He is more of a rotational option for the club this season, likely to see a bench spot if fit.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Juranovic has been dealing with an undisclosed injury for a few weeks, which limited him to seven minutes in the season opener against Stuttgart on Saturday. The defender suffered a setback in training this week and will miss Sunday's clash against Dortmund as the staff prefers to be cautious with him and not rush his return.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Signs contract extension Juranovic has signed a contract extension with Union Berlin, the club announced. "With Josip, we are retaining a key player who will play a key role thanks to his experience and fl...

Impact Juranovic has been a reliable performer for Union Berlin since joining in January 2023 after Croatia's third-place finish at the 2022 World Cup. He immediately made an impact with an assist in his Bundesliga debut at Werder Bremen and followed up with another in the German Cup against Wolfsburg. The right back's standout moment came against Ajax in the Europa League with a goal and an assist in a 3-1 win, and he has since totaled 62 appearances, four goals, and six assists across all competitions.

AUGUST 25 • ROTOWIRE

Hampered by injuries Juranovic made 17 appearances (13 starts) in the Bundesliga.

Impact Juranovic was hampered by injuries throughout the campaign, especially an early season issue that sidelined him for months. Minutes have been hard to come by in Berlin for the defender, though when fit he's a big part of the starting XI. If he can stay fit he should be in for a big role next season.

MAY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Fit for bench Juranovic (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Heidenheim.

Impact Juranovic is back after three games out with a calf injury, seeing a spot on the bench in his return. He will look to test his legs before seeing the start next game, as he has started in 12 of his 15 appearances this season and is a starter when fit.

MAY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Juranovic (calf) is out for Saturday's clash with Werder Bremen, Union announced.

Impact Juranovic isn't an option for Saturday's clash as he struggles with a calf issue. This is the third match in a row the defender has missed, meaning he has just two more chances to return before the end of the Bundesliga.

MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Out once again Juranvoic (calf) is out for Sunday's match against Bochum, according to manager Steffen Baumgart.

Impact Juranovic is going to miss a second straight contest due to his calf issues, as the defender is now also out for the match against Bochum. This continues to be a brutal loss, with the defender typically a starter when fit. A return date is still up in the air, but with only three games left in the season, he will hope his addition is near.

APRIL 25 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Saturday Juranovic (calf) is ruled out for Saturday's clash with Stuttgart.

Impact Juranovic was a late call for Saturday's game after being forced off late in the previous match against Leverkusen due to a calf injury. He ultimately missed out as he still needs more time to recover. Tom Rothe is expected to see more playing time until the injured players return.

APRIL 19 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Juranovic trained normally with the team on Thursday, but will be a late call for Saturday's game, as he is expected to be assessed after Friday's final training session to determine if he can make the squad. With Robert Skov likely out for the season, and Jerome Roussillon ruled out for that game, Tom Rothe will replace him on the left flank if he has to miss the call.

APRIL 18 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves late injured Juranovic was forced off in the 82nd minute of Saturday's match against Leverkusen due to an apparent injury.

Impact Juranovic made it most of the match Saturday but would need to come off late after he suffered an injury. This could be a tough blow, as he is an everyday starter on the flanks. He was replaced by Tom Rothe, a likely option to replace his spot if he misses more time.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Registers four crosses Juranovic had two shots (one on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Bayern Munich. In addition, he was given a yellow card in th...

Impact Juranovic had a decent two-way effort Saturday in his 90 minutes of work. He would start with one chance created, two shots and four crosses in the attack. However, he was even more solid in the defense, notching one block, an interception, three tackles and five clearances.

MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE

20 crosses in Sunday's loss Juranovic registered 20 crosses (seven accurate) and eight corners in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Holstein Kiel. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 95th minute.

Impact Juranovic was extremely active in Sunday's loss, setting season highs across the board. He recorded a whopping 20 crosses -- double his previous season high -- with seven of them being accurate. He also set season highs in chances created (six) and corners (eight). It was easily his best performance of the season, and he was unfortunate to not record an assist after creating so many chances. He has been very active on the attack in the last three matches in particular, and he is starting to look like a viable fantasy option.
