Impact Imeri looks to be a possibility to make the call Friday, with the midfielder set for some late testing despite recent reports of an absence extending into October.

Return delayed until October Imeri (thigh) is expected to remain sidelined until after the October international break despite returning to portions of team training Monday, according to Tagesspiegel.

Impact Imeri is making progress in his recovery from the thigh issue but isn't yet ready for full participation in training. A minor reaction had already prevented him from returning against Schalke, and the midfielder is now expected to miss Union Berlin's remaining fixtures before the international break. His partial involvement Monday represents a step forward, though he'll likely need to resume full training before being considered for competitive action.
