Josip Juranovic (Calf problems), Robert Skov (Foot injury), Jérôme Roussillon (Knock), Aljoscha Kemlein (Foot surgery) and Woo-yeong Jeong (Ankle injury) aren’t available for Union Berlin boss Steffen Baumgart.

Team News: Werder Bremen
Werder Bremen manager Ole Werner has to currently contend with reduced team options. Leon Opitz (Torn muscle fiber) and Milos Veljkovic (muscular problems) are not ready for selection.
There’s a good chance that Werder appear most likely to make use of a 3-5-2 lineup using Michael Zetterer, Niklas Stark, Marco Friedl, Amos Pieper, Mitchell Weiser, Jens Stage, Senne Lynen, Romano Schmid, Felix Agu, Oliver Burke and Marvin Ducksch.
