South Korean national team striker Jung Woo-young is on the verge of ending the season early.

Germany's Bild shed light on Jung Woo-young's injury situation on the 1st (Korea time), saying, "Was Jung Woo-young's last appearance in Union Berlin?"

Jung Woo-young started in the 27th round of the German Bundesliga against SC Freiburg in 2024-2025 season at Europa-Park Stadion in Freiburg, Germany on the 30th.

However, the joy of starting did not last 10 minutes. Jung Woo-young, who slipped in the process of trying to kick in the fourth minute of the first half, turned his left foot, which was a stepping foot, and bent. It was a sad scene where injuries were expected. Jung Woo-young, who immediately fell on the ground, tried to run after receiving medical treatment, but he could no longer play. He was replaced in the 8th minute of the first half and headed to the locker room.

Berlin coach Stefan Baumgart commented on Jung's condition, "Unfortunately, I sprained my ankle. If you go out on crutches, you can only expect the best. I don't think it's a good thing. I'm going to have an MRI soon, and I'm going to determine if I can keep running" expressed concern.

Bild said 'Jung Woo-young injured his left ankle in the last Freiburg match. I couldn't keep running even after receiving treatment. After the game, Jung Woo-young left the stadium on crutches. Since last Monday, we have been tested to determine the severity of the injury.'




Then 'If the worst concern becomes a reality, it could mean a season out. If so, you can leave Berlin. He is on loan from Stuttgart and has a full transfer option of 6 million euros (about 9.5 billion won). But it is questionable whether the club would want to spend such money on him. The coaching team, however, believes that Jung Woo-young has a lot of room for growth. Now he is on the verge of saying goodbye to the club.

Jung Woo-young, who transferred to Stuttgart in the 2023-2024 season, had difficulty taking off as a starting player. It was a talent recognized through Bayern Munich's youth team and Freiburg, but the Bundesliga's wall was not low. During his season at Stuttgart, he played 29 games, of which only six were selected. I had to find a breakthrough, so I left for Berlin on loan ahead of this season. In Berlin, he scored his first goal of the season in four rounds, raising expectations. He also scored consecutive offensive points against Leverkusen and Stuttgart.

Starting in 2025, the difficult time has come again. The time of silence has lengthened. On February 9, he reported his first offensive point in 2025 with one assist against Hoffenheim, but it was not easy to turn the mood around. In all three games just before the match against Frankfurt, he remained silent even though he started. With his shaky performance, he was pushed to the bench against Frankfurt. He was strong in the crisis. Despite playing as a substitute on March 10, he did not miss the opportunity to score against Frankfurt and showed off his presence in 100 days, taking the opportunity to rebound. However, this injury has dampened the atmosphere for the first time in three weeks.




Along with the injury diagnosis, Jung Woo-young will have to wait for the club's decision to transfer to Berlin and return to Stuttgart. If it is possible to play after a quick return, there is room for a reversal, but if the season out is decided, concerns about the next season are also expected to grow.
