The team was already depleted, with ten players unavailable for the game against Werder Bremen, including key figures Tanja Pawollek and Naika Reissner.

Union Berlin will host Wolfsburg on Tuesday and then travel to Munich on Friday, giving the team little time to recover from the Bremen defeat.
Head coach Ailien Poese has stressed the importance of staying compact in the upcoming games. However, the recent performances and injuries are cause for concern, with the team currently in eighth place in the mid-table, as planned, but facing a difficult path ahead. Korina Janez was also forced off injured during the Bremen game, adding to the team's woes.
Union Berlin faces a challenging week with matches against two of the league's strongest teams, Bayern Munich and VfL Wolfsburg. The team must rally and stay focused despite the injury crisis and recent setbacks to maintain their position in the mid-table.
