Overview
- Jeong has started 11 of Union Berlin’s last 13 matches, including six in a row, and is described as in top form.
- He sustained a serious ankle injury on matchday 27 in Freiburg that ended his loan season and initially left him fearing for his career.
- Union signed him permanently despite the setback, with manager Horst Heldt presenting the new contract as a wedding gift last summer.
- Family support and mandatory military service in South Korea helped his mental reset and confirmed his fitness, though service caused him to miss the club’s training start.
- Union hosts Werder Bremen on Sunday at 17:30 CET on DAZN, a match the report suggests could shape the remainder of their season.
