Unlikely to return vs. Bremen Burcu (ankle) was back in full training on Monday but remains unlikely to feature in Friday's clash against Werder Bremen, according to Kicker.

Impact Burcu has missed every game so far this season and will likely need to wait a bit longer before making his first appearance for Union since he is not expected to return on Friday against Werder Bremen. Burcu is expected to hold a rotational role once fully fit, so his absence does not impact the starting XI.

Still out Burcu (ankle) is out for Friday's match against Gladbach, according to manager Steffen Baumgart.

Impact Burcu is not yet an option despite training with the team this week, as the attacker still needs a bit more time to recover from his ankle injury. That said, the club appears to be taking his return to play cautiously. He will then look to feature when facing Werder Bremen on Oct. 24, still yet to debut this campaign.

Impact Burcu is back in training this week after around three months out due to an ankle injury, having yet to debut this season. However, he could now return to play in their next match, seeing progress after training. He has yet to see a minute with the first team and only inked his first team contract with the club this season, likely a depth option once fit.

Remains out for time being Burcu suffered an important ankle injury during pre-season that required surgery, and he is out for the time being as his recovery could take months, according to BILD.

Impact Burcu underwent successful ankle surgery after suffering a bad injury in a pre-season friendly in July. At the time, BILD revealed that his recovery would take months, meaning he still has to spend some time on the sidelines. That said, his absence does not impact the starting squad since he would hold a minor role once back.

Won't make opener Burcu is out for Saturday's match against Stuttgart due to an injury, according to manager Steffan Baumgart.

Impact Burcu will not be an option for his first game as a first-team member, with the attacker dealt an injury that will keep him on the sidelines. This is unfortunate for the player but is unlikely to affect the team, as he is expected to see a minor role when fit unless he works into a bigger spot.

Inks deal with first team Burcu has signed a first-team contract with Union Berlin, according to his club.

Impact Burcu is sticking around Union Berlin for the next few years to come, as the attacker has inked an extension and signed with the first team. This comes after he was sent on loan to FC Magdeburg last season, spending the season away from the club. He will now hope to break into the first team a bit, possibly earning some time here and there.
