Livan Burcu - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Available after illness Burcu (illness) has recovered and is available for Saturday's Bundesliga clash against Augsburg, according to coach Mauro Lustrinelli. "Livan is healthy again."

Impact Burcu is back in contention after missing Union Berlin's 0-0 draw against Borussia Dortmund due to illness. The attacker had previously scored the winning goal in the 1-0 victory over Elversberg, recording three shots, including one on target, before being sidelined. His recovery provides Union with an additional attacking option ahead of Saturday's trip to Augsburg, although his immediate return to the starting lineup remains uncertain. With Kastriot Imeri (undisclosed) doubtful for the match, Burcu could benefit from increased opportunities in attack.

Ruled out with illness Burcu is unavailable for Saturday's Bundesliga clash against Borussia Dortmund after falling sick ahead of the match, according to the club.

Impact Burcu will miss Saturday's encounter against Dortmund after delivering a decisive performance in the previous Bundesliga match against Elversberg. The attacker scored the only goal in the 1-0 victory, recording three shots (one on target) while helping Union Berlin secure all three points. His absence comes at an unfortunate time following that match-winning contribution, although the unchanged starting lineup suggests his illness will primarily affect the team's attacking depth and substitution options. With Oliver Burke also sidelined by illness, coach Mauro Lustrinelli will have fewer offensive alternatives available against Dortmund. Burcu's absence is expected to be temporary, although his availability for the next fixture will depend on his recovery.

Nets crucial goal Burcu scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 win versus SV 07 Elversberg.

Impact Burcu scored the only goal during Saturday's win. It was a crucial goal during such a tightly-contested showdown. The attacker made the most of his limited chances and was able to earn all three points. This is one of the most winnable matches on the schedule for Burcu and co. who did what they needed to in a tough spot.

Credited with assist in win Burcu assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and two corners in Saturday's 4-0 win versus FC Augsburg.

Impact Burcu was credited with an assist in Union's third goal, though he simply connected on a short pass with Andras Schafer, who blasted an unstoppable shot into the upper 90 past Finn Dahmen. Burcu recorded a goal and an assist in his last three league appearances, but those would end up being the lone goal contributions he recorded throughout the 2025/26 campaign.

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.

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.

AUGUST 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.
