Last updated: Sun 24 September 2023 08:51Jovicic, Mustapha, Usor, Renner, and Marin Ljubicic could be benched.
A real game of two halves midweek. Were the better side in the first-half, and deservedly led. Got pushed back more and more in the second-half though, and couldn't cope with Liverpool's substitutions. Really good effort overall.
Out of favour midfield engine Michorl and usual RB Stojkovic (out of favour since the formation switch to a back three) are not really considered at the moment. Rotation option Bello may also be omitted.
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.
Young striker Havel is making a name for himself. He lends their attack a real energy and danger, which they sorely need at the moment so he's becoming a regular.
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.
Rotation possible because of fixture congestion. As they've started to improve lately due to the formation switch plus the integration of a more energetic attacking combination, this could lead to problems. Jovicic, Mustapha, Usor, Renner, and Marin Ljubicic could be benched as a result.

Last updated: Sun 24 September 2023 08:55Diakiate is suspended. Providence returns. Entrup is a doubt.
Defeated Austria Vienna 2-1 despite being reduced to ten men. Fought courageously, stayed strong in difficult positions, and deserved the win.
Midfield regular Diakite is suspended for being sent off - again. He will miss one match. A bad match for them to be without him; replacing him will be harder than normal.
Midfielder Wilfinger is injured; not a loss.
Backup goalkeeper Ehlmann not far away from a return after surgery. Not a problem if it takes a while though; they've brought in Tobias Knoflach.
Still no sign of Kropfl in midfield; not missed. Youngster Fillafer is preferred.
Winger Providence is back after injury but will find it difficult to displace Frieser.
Rotation attacker Lemmerer may be omitted.
Regular attacker Entrup ended up missing their last match because of injury. It's not thought to be serious. Not an issue whilst Avdijaj is dominating like he is.
