Last updated: Sun 06 August 2023 08:20Diaby pushing for a start. Rhein returns. Rafael Devisate has signed a professional contract.
Got a good point against a dangerous Hartberg away from home last time out but shouldn't have been afforded the chance, given Hartberg's first-half dominance. They lost focus and had a man sent off, and thus Fridrikas steered Austria Lustenau to a 2-2 draw.
Returning attacking midfielder Diaby is pushing for a start. Given Fridrikas' two goals last match, he may be pushed forward to displace Schmid, and Diaby get his shot in the three attacking midfielders instead.
German midfielder Rhein has been battling a bad bout of flu recently. He was all but ruled out of their last match at the last minute but is now fit to play.
Have given a professional contract to Rafael Devisate, who played on trial for the club in pre-season friendlies. Is available to play straightaway but it seems a bit soon for him to do so.
Austria Vienna
Last updated: Sun 06 August 2023 08:23Guenouche returns. Tabakovic has left. Ranftl/Fischer/Galvao slight doubts. da Graca suspended. Baltaxa closing in on a return. Rotation possible.
Did enough to see off Borac Banja Luka in Bosnia-Herzegovina midweek (won 2-1, so 3-1 on aggregate) to secure their progression to the next round. Lost Ranftl to injury in the process though.
Were absolutely shambolic at the weekend, easily being beaten 3-0 on their own turf by Sturm Graz, aided in no small part by da Graca's crazy red card.
Regular striker Tabakovic has left after Hertha Berlin met his release clause. A huge loss; there is no ready-made replacement for him with Raguz still not ready to play after injury. Winger Gruber seems to be preferred to Huskovic, who is only just back from injury.
Following Marvin da Graca's assault against Sturm Graz, he will now be suspended until the trip to Linz at the end of August. A big blow; one of their most reliable defenders.
Having sustained a migraine midweek, Ranftl is a slight doubt but should play. With Potzmann waiting in the wings though, he should not be missed. The same can be said of Galvao and Fischer, both of which sustained knocks but are expected to be fit.
Fixture congestion plus travel to and from Bosnia-Herzegovina midweek may lead to some rotation where possible (e.g. ageing Holland may be removed from the squad altogether, Potzmann may start, Braunoder return, Plavotic could replace Meisl etc.)
Young talent El Sheiwi is a long-term absentee. Fellow defender Guenouche returns from injury, and just in time too - he may start.
Talented midfielder Wustinger has - despite his youthful age - suffered a second ACL injury. He won't be playing again for a long time.
New midfielder Wels is battling a knee injury.
Rotation defender Baltaxa is closing in on a return after injury but will not play in this game.
