Overview
- Linus Güther turned 16 on Wednesday, which makes him eligible to play in the Bundesliga.
- Steffen Baumgart said Thursday he is leaning toward naming him in the squad for Saturday at Heidenheim, with a final call after the last practice.
- The coach praised the winger’s skill and pace in first-team training but urged a slow, step-by-step integration.
- Sport Bild reporting says Union completed the DFL medical checks at Berlin’s Charité two weeks ago to clear him for matches.
- The Germany U16 forward has nine caps with seven goals and two assists, which is why an early debut could make him the league’s second-youngest player after Youssoufa Moukoko.
