Sebastian Polter will not be used for 1. FC Union Berlin in the Bundesliga until the end of his contract, which expires in the summer. The decision was communicated to the 29-year-old striker in a personal conversation with Union President Dirk Zingler.
“It is one of the fundamental values ​​of 1. FC Union Berlin that we Unioners form a community based on solidarity, in which we stand up for each other and for our club. Sebastian, as the only player in the entire licensed player department with team, coach and support team, unfortunately does not. This is not understandable for us and very disappointing. It is my most urgent task, especially in difficult times, to protect the cohesion of all club employees and players in order not to endanger our sporting goals. We have therefore decided that Sebastian will no longer be part of our match day squad, ”said Dirk Zingler, President of 1. FC Union Berlin, explaining the club management's decision.
Sebastian Polter continues to participate in the regular team training of the professional team.

I got half way through that and realised I was talking in my head with a bad German accent
Rumour is he refused to waive or reduce his salary during the CV crisis.
'The club did not want to comment on what exactly happened. Polter himself has not yet commented. As the specialist magazine "kicker" and the German press agency report, Polter should not have been willing to support the waiver of wages decided in March due to the Corona crisis'

Is he well regarded in Germany? He scored 1 every 2.5 which isn't terrible for a mid table Bundesliga is it?
He's been Seb the Sub since he returned to Union. Generally coming on late to batter tiring defenders. He has a bit of cred among fans, for scoring a couple of key goals in their promotion run. But he also managed to pick up a red card with his first touch in one game too. There's no way he'll ever be a starter in 1 Bundesliga, maybe if he drops down a division he'll get more minutes.

Cheers.
It seems like he's been a bit of a bastard in this instance, but I still have soft spot for him and hope he finds a club.
Lets face it, the last few years before this season we have been really short on entertainment and absolute bang average but hilariously clumsy strikers like Sylla, or odd featured tall blokes like Seb made it as least amusing on occasion.

Yeah, as their name suggests, Union is the wrong club to try this with. Their history and reputation is resolutely Berlin working class, has been since they were formed and it's deeply embedded in the spirit of the fans. If the story's true he won't get a lot of sympathy.

Most Union’s that are Closed Shops produce good strikers.

Must admit, Polter had me falling off my seat on many occasions.
