Union are in the midst of a nine-game losing run that has left them bottom of the table.
Eta, 32, played in the Frauen Bundesliga with Turbine Potsdam, where she won the league three times in row and lifted the Women’s Champions League in 2010. She also played for Hamburg, Cloppenburg and Werder Bremen before retiring in 2018.
