Union stars Juranovic absent from training; Shepherds return
Union Berlin are gearing up for their upcoming Bundesliga match against Eintracht Frankfurt, scheduled for next Sunday at 3:30 PM and to be broadcast on DAZN. The clash promises to be an exciting one, with several key personnel changes for both teams.
In the heart of Union Berlin's defence, Diogo Leite is expected to make his first appearance in the Bundesliga this season. Leite, a central defender, has fully rejoined the team's training since his failed transfer attempt a week ago. His return to training and potential inclusion in the squad is a result of his transfer saga being resolved. Notably, Leite last trained with Union Berlin before the upcoming match against Eintracht Frankfurt, indicating his readiness to participate soon.
Unfortunately, the Croatian national player Josip Juranovic will not be available for the match due to his ongoing injury. This means that Union Berlin may be fielding a different central defender, with Tom Rothe's suspension and Leite's likely starting role being potential factors. Rothe was sent off against Hoffenheim, earning a one-game ban, and will therefore not feature in the match.
On a positive note, midfielder Andras Schafer returned to training after recovering from illness. Schafer's participation in Union Berlin's match against Eintracht Frankfurt is contingent on his fitness level after training.
In the midst of these changes, Union Berlin's coach Steffen Baumgart is working to reintegrate Leite into the starting lineup. Leite, who recently wanted to leave the club, is now being given a second chance to prove his worth on the pitch.
As both teams prepare for this highly anticipated match, fans can look forward to an exciting display of football on the pitch.
