Saturday, 15th Aug 2026 14:17<\/p>\n
New signing Sasa Lukic makes his first appearance in a Town shirt as the Blues face Union Berlin at Stadion An der Alten F\u00f6rstere (KO 2.30pm UK, 3.30pm local time). <\/p>\n
The Serbian international lines up in midfield alongside Marcelino Nunez ahead of a back four of skipper Dara O\u2019Shea at right-back, Issa Diop and Jacob Greaves the centre-halves and Leif Davis at left-back. Kjell Scherpen is in goal.<\/p>\n
Sindre Walle Egeli is on the right of the attacking three with Jack Clarke the number 10 and Daizen Maeda on the left. Emersonn is up front.<\/p>\n
Jaden Philogene and Christian Walton are back on the bench after injuries having not taken part in pre-season up to now, while Florentino Luis and Abdul Fatawu are both absent from the squad, presumably due to minor injuries. Young winger Tudor Mendel is again in the squad.<\/p>\n
As previously reported, George Hirst and Alex Palmer didn\u2019t travel with Stoke and Sunderland interested in the duo.<\/p>\n
