Kastriot Imeri will have to wait for his Union Berlin debut. The new midfielder trained separately on Tuesday because of a thigh injury and is not yet an option for Saturdayโs Bundesliga match at Bayer Leverkusen.
About 100 spectators attended Unionโs public training on the final day of the transfer window. The club officially presented Imeri, signed from Young Boys, as its sixth external addition of the transfer period. After his new teammates left the field, the Swiss midfielder worked individually on the grass.
Union also trained without several other players. Forwards Andrej Ilic and Oliver Burke, along with defenders Marvin Friedrich and Stanley Nsoki, spent part of the session indoors. Defender Oluwaseun Ogbemudia was absent after Union and third-division club Waldhof Mannheim agreed to extend his loan. The 20-year-old will remain with Waldhof for the season after spending the second half of the previous campaign there.
