Union Berlin Women Set Second-Half Target After Injury-Hit Bundesliga Start

Jennifer Zietz blames a rapid climb for exposing a lack of first-division experience.

Overview

  • The debut-season side sits ninth after 14 league matches with four wins and seven losses.
  • Club leadership says frequent injuries disrupted lineups, with Korina Janez, Anna Aehling and Tomke Schneider sidelined for long stretches.
  • Zietz described the first months as marked by new setbacks nearly every day, affecting consistency and confidence.
  • Union closed the year on a positive note with an away victory over fellow promoted 1. FC Nürnberg.
  • Play resumes at the end of January at home against Bayer Leverkusen, with goals of fewer injuries and six more points in the Rückrunde.
