Meeting Highlights...INJURY REPORT
It’s looking like Waldi won’t be able to play. He’s only been able to complete some parts of training this week. We’ll make a final decision tomorrow. Nikolas Nartey is doing well on the road to recovery following cartilage damage, but Axel Zagadou remains sidelined with injury.
...DENIZ UNDAV
He came through training without any problems this week. Having said that, Deniz has recently suffered repeated muscle problems. If he’s at 100 percent, he’s a candidate to start. Otherwise, he’ll be an option off the bench.
...OPPONENT
They’ve consistently picked up points under Nenad Bjelica. They don’t concede many goals, which is obviously a result of them making it very difficult for their opponents to create chances. They’re a tough nut to crack. It’ll be a mental challenge.

Nenad Bjelica
Manager on Union Berlin…OPPONENT
The opponents are playing excellently this season and are putting in great performances. They were particularly successful at home. Coach Sebastian Hoeneß saved Stuttgart last season. He is now playing excellent football.
…ABOUT MATCH
We have to do our work on the pitch, like we did against Dortmund. We had our chances, also at Bayern and in Leipzig. The opponent was better, but also more effective. We're hoping to be a little more effective with our chances. You just have to use the three or four that you have.
…INJURY REPORT
There are no injured, sick or suspended players. We trained and prepared as a full squad and will get this advantage out of it.
