Union Berlin defender set for spell on the sidelines

Bild reports that Union Berlin’s Robert Skov has suffered a foot injury.

1. FC Union Berlin will be without Robert Skov in the weeks to come.

That’s according to Bild, who reports that the Dane has suffered a foot injury that will likely keep him out for two to three weeks.

Skov was forced off in the first half of Union’s 2-1 defeat at Borussia Mönchengladbach last week.

The 28-year-old has emerged as Union’s starting left-back since Steffen Baumgart took over as coach.

Tom Rothe, who came on to replace Skov against Gladbach, is expected to step in while the Dane is out.
