Union Berlin Buoyed by Trimmel Fitness as Schäfer Doubt Lingers Before Bremen

Updates stem from observed training rather than formal medical bulletins.

Overview

  • Captain Christopher Trimmel trained for almost the entire Monday session despite left‑thigh issues that led to his precautionary substitution against Mönchengladbach, BILD reported.
  • He is expected to be available for Friday's Bundesliga match at Werder Bremen, with local reporting indicating a likely start.
  • Defender Josip Juranovic and forward Livan Burcu completed extended work before additional conditioning runs under athletic trainer Martin Krüger.
  • Midfielder Andras Schäfer left the session after about 50 minutes and remains doubtful for Bremen after already missing the Gladbach match.
  • More than 200 fans attended the open training in Köpenick three days after Union's 3:1 win over Gladbach, contributing to a positive mood around the squad.
