Four players from 1. FC Union Berlin have been called up to represent their national teams during the close season.

Sebastian Andersson remains a firm favourite of Sweden coach Janne Andersson and the 27-year-old is rewarded for his 13 goals and tireless performances in the 2.Bundesliga.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Rafal Gikiewicz has been given the chance to impress Poland's national team coach Jerzy Brzeczek following an outstanding season for Union.
