Oliver Burke News: Returns in friendly

Burke (toe) featured one hour in Tuesday's 1-0 loss against Schweinfurt 05 in a pre-season friendly, confirming his return from injury.

Burke ended last season with Bremen sidelined due to a toe injury but that issue appears resolved as he played one hour in Tuesday's friendly with his new club, confirming his return. This is good news for Union because Burke is expected to compete for a starting spot in the frontline and taking part in preseason friendlies can help him build fitness ahead of the 2025/26 Bundesliga season.
