The 1. FC Union Berlin squad includes nine players for the central positions in midfield. Soon there will probably be one less, because the homegrown Aljoscha Kemlein is the “Kicker“According to a loan in the 2nd Bundesliga to FC St. Pauli.
The 19-year-old has been training with the “Iron” since 2016 and is now expected to gain match practice in Hamburg until the end of the season, which he has so far been denied. According to the report, a purchase option is not part of the agreement. Kemlein, who was born in Berlin, played 27 minutes in two games in the Bundesliga and came on as a substitute in the final phase of the Champions League in the final group game against Real Madrid (0-1). The right-footer played four games over the full distance in the Youth League.

St. Pauli has a need in the midfield because captain Jackson Irvine and Connor Metcalfe are taking part in the Asian Cup with Australia. This will take place in Qatar from January 12th to February 10th – the duo could miss up to four league games as well as the quarter-finals in the DFB Cup against Fortuna Düsseldorf. Without Irvine and Metcalfe, the “Kiezkickern” only have the three trained midfielders Eric Smith, Marcel Hartel and Carlo Boukhalfa left. However, Smith is used in the center of defense as a kind of libero.
