Targeting post-break return
Burke (Achilles) is expected to remain sidelined until after the upcoming international break as he continues his recovery from an Achilles issue, according to the club.
Analysis: Burke has been dealing with the problem for around six weeks after missing a significant portion of preseason and is expected to sit out at least the first four Bundesliga matches of the season. His rehabilitation is targeted for completion around October, with coach Mauro Lustrinelli hopeful the forward can rejoin the team and become an option after the international break. Burke will likely need time to rebuild match fitness following the lengthy absence before pushing for a significant role in Union's attack.
Remains unavailable
Burke (Achilles) will remain sidelined for Saturday's Bundesliga clash against Bayer Leverkusen, according to coach Mauro Lustrinelli.
Analysis: Burke has yet to overcome the Achilles tendon problem that also ruled him out of Union Berlin's league opener against Eintracht Frankfurt. The continued absence is a significant loss for the attack after he led Union with six Bundesliga goals last season. With no clear return date provided, his availability beyond Saturday remains uncertain.
