Last updated: Sun 03 September 2023 07:26Kone returns. Stojkovic + Michorl are doubts. Akos Kecskes has left.
Drew 1-1 in a hard-fought match in Bosnia-Herzegovina midweek, which was enough to secure their progression to the UEFA Europa League group stage.
Found it pretty straightforward to beat Austria Vienna last weekend. They didn't create many chances but always looked likelier to take them than their impotent opposition.
Rotation options Taoui, Anselm, and Wiesinger are injured/recovering from injury. Taoui is a long-term absentee. The others are back in training after lengthy periods of absence. None of them would be missed.
Still no sign of new midfield loanee Darboe.
New attacker Kone made his return from a period of unexplained absence midweek, making the bench for the trip to Bosnia-Herzegovina. If he's fit enough, then he should start because they've lacked sparks in the final third lately.
Rotation attacker Pintor picked up an injury in the win against Austria Vienna. Unclear how serious it is. Shouldn't be missed; they've got plenty of depth.
Although regular RB Stojkovic is carrying an injury, he's been somewhat usurped by Flecker anyway since the formation switch to 3-2-2-2-1 to incorporate their strong CB trio.
Midfield regular Michorl was a surprise absentee midweek; no explanation has been given as of yet. They've got good depth so he shouldn't be missed.
Rotation options Jungwirth, Bello, and Ba may be omitted.
Outcast defender Akos Kecskes has left. Never mind 'missed'; I daresay nobody will even notice that he's left!
Austria Lustenau
Last updated: Sun 03 September 2023 07:26Fridirikas returns. Matzler is a doubt. Moltenis now has a work visa. Rotation likely. Cisse 50/50. Frederiksen has joined. Marte has left.
Although the 3-0 scoreline was a bit flattering on SCR Altach, Austria Lustenau still embarrassed themselves with a poor showing in the derby. Their fans made their feelings perfectly clear via pyrotechnics as the game went on.
Midfielder Rhein is capitalising upon Grabher's injury by taking his starting role. The German is a perfectly able deputy.
Regular defender/midfielder Matzler picked up a knock last match. Would be a loss if he failed to make it. Young defender Marte has left on loan; not a loss.
Key striker Fridrikas returned from injury last match, which is a huge boost.
New defender Moltenis now has a work visa, and debutised in the derby.
Rotation likely following a poor showing in the derby. Moltenis and Bobzien may start as a consequence, reducing Gmeiner and Diaby to benchwarmers.
Rotation options Koc and Marte may be omitted.
Rotation striker Cisse has an eye complaint, and is 50/50 to make it. New attacker Nikolai Baden Frederiksen may not feature; unlikely to receive a visa in time. Fantastic signing though.
