Last updated: Sun 03 September 2023 07:24Big derby. Terzic is back. Fernando picked up a new injury.
Claimed a hard-fought three points against Wolfsberger AC last weekend. Were a little lucky to win it; they didn't penetrate well enough, and lacked finesse.
Their defensive worries are less galling now. Solet and Morgalla remain injured, but Piatkowski is back after tonsilitis, and Terzic is back after injury too. If not, Ulmer should fill in.
Rotation options Guindo and Omoregie are injured. Neither are missed.
Attack is still a problem with Sucic out, and now Ratkov too after sustaining a thigh injury against SCR Altach, although the former is back in training. Koita is back but Fernando picked up a new injury. Fortunately, Konate has been phenomenal. It may be too early for Koita to think about starting - a bench role is likelier.
Backup CB Okoh suffered a bad injury in the game against Internazionale, and may not play again in 2023. Young defender Wallner will most likely be out for the rest of August, having picked up an injury in the same match. Neither are missed at this time.
Midfield regular Capaldo is closing in on a return from injury but won't play; a big blow, considering their lack of personnel. Backup CM Diambou will be out for a long time with injury too.
One of the biggest derbies in Austrian football.
Rapid Vienna
Last updated: Sun 03 September 2023 07:25Schick and Burgstaller are out. Big derby. Grgic may debutise. Kongolo and Kasanwirjo have joined. Querfeld and Grull to stay.
Were undone by ACF Fiorentina 2-0 midweek. Fought courageously but didn't have enough at either end without Cvetkovic, Burgstaller, and Schick.
Rotated significantly for the weekend match against WSG Tirol and ended up drawing 1-1 despite dominating. Would have won with a full-strength eleven.
Fortunately, the club rejected late offers for both Querfeld and Grull as they felt they couldn't afford to lose them at this point.
Tricky Barbadian winger Gale has joined, and may debutise if he receives a work visa in time.
RB Koscelnik has left. Schick has been first-choice in that position this season so not a huge loss in general. However, the latter was absent in Florence midweek, which meant Oswald had to fill in there - suboptimal!
Suffered a huge blow with captain Cvetkovic tore a cruciate ligament. He's been amazing so it's a big problem that he'll be out for a long time, most likely until the end of 2023. Have loaned Kongolo and Kasanwirjo in his stead but are unlikely to receive work visas in time, and are planning to use the latter more on the right than at CB.
CDM Pejic is in rehabilitation following injury. Not as missed as before now that Grgic is in their squad. He is 50/50 to make his debut.
Key striker Burgstaller missed the midweek match because of injury - easily their best player so a huge loss that he's out again.
