Newly acquired young strikers Mikel Kaufmann and Benedict Hollerbach have both missed the cut on the inaugural group stage roster of German Champions' League representatives 1. FC Union Berlin.

Union will rely upon Chelsea loanee David Datro Fofana, Kevin Behrens, Sheraldo Becker, and Kevin Volland as their primary attacking corps. Hollerbach - in commenting on the situation during a Tuesday press round - expressed his disappointment, yet insisted it remained a privilege to train amid a "very deep squad". Hollerbach did receive 30 minutes of playing time as a sub in the recent league loss against Leipzig. Kaufmann's first league appearance in the FCU's colors, coming in the same match, came only at the end.
