Last updated: Sat 05 August 2023 08:37Cvetkovic returns. Hofmann closing in on a return. Impressed against LASK but were unlucky. Grgic may debutise.
Drew 1-1 with LASK in Linz at the weekend. Were comfortably the better team, especially in the first-half, forcing their hosts to adjust shape and personnel. Conceded an undeserved equaliser at the end of the game.
Regular centre-back Cvetkovic made his return from injury against LASK last time out.
Defender Hofmann is no longer injured but rehabilitation is taking longer than anticipated.
Right-sider Bajic picked up a knock last match. Not a loss as Kuhn is ahead of him in the pecking order. He'll be out until mid-August or so, and has now entered the rehabilitation phase.
CDM Pejic is in rehabilitation following injury. As he's comfortably their best CDM, he is missed.
Have acquired midfielder Lukas Grgic from Hajduk Split. May make the bench as he knows the Bundesliga well enough by now.

Last updated: Sat 05 August 2023 08:37Koller awaiting debut. Lukacevic in favour. No absentees of note. Played well last match. No sign of Reiter.
Were defeated 2-0 at home by Red Bull Salzburg at the weekend. Organised themselves well in the first-half and gave little away but were undone by a counter and a set piece, and did not take the few opportunities that came their way.
Piffer, Maksimovic, and Kaiba are all fit but were recently playing with the Junior team. Their re-integration should be slow. None are missed.
Young defender Ouedraogo is a long-term injury; not a loss.
Midfield regular Bukta is carrying a long-term injury. He did not make either squad so far this season. Not a loss with Gebauer available, although it could be if they lose Gebauer, given Reiter's unexplained absence last match.
Backup GK Schutzenauer is carrying an injury; not a problem whilst Stojanovic is available.
Koller still looking to debutise but it may not be in this match; their usual back three did well against Red Bull Salzburg.
Lukacevic preferred to Edokpolor on the left due to good form.
