Last updated: Sat 28 October 2023 10:01Knaller should return. Gkezos's 2023 is over. Straudi should be back. Irving out. Binder out again.
Claimed a really impressive 3-2 win in the capital against Rapid despite their squad being down to the bare bones. Wanted it more, worked harder, and took their chances better.
Backup GK Knaller should return here; only awaiting official confirmation. Not an issue if it takes longer than planned though.
Regular CB Gkezos was forced to leave the pitch due to injury in their last match. Serious injury - he won't play again in 2023; expected back in February/March. A big blow.
No reason to change their 3-5-2 nor the personnel in it; they've looked solid lately, even if they have lacked a bit of confidence in the final third. Cvetko may miss out because of injury though; not an issue with Gemicibasi a good replacement. Cvetko may be able to return next week.
Key creator Irving has picked up an injury but it's now less severe than initially feared; could be back for next week. A huge blow; nobody can replace him.
Regular RWB Straudi should be back after illness; not a massive problem if he fails as Bonnah has done well lately.
Rotation striker Binder has now been ruled out until after the winter break, and the same goes for Soto and May. Youngster Kujrakovic is also carrying an injury; not a loss.

Last updated: Sat 28 October 2023 10:01CB could be a big problem. Kronberger returns. Prelec/Ertlthaler return. No sign of Ranacher/Štumberger. Vötter out.
Were beaten 2-0 by Austria Vienna at the weekend. Were really poor in the first-half but HT changes turned the tide until Gugganig was sent off.
Regular CB Gugganig is suspended following his red card last match. A big blow for a team that really cannot afford any more absentees, especially if Štumberger's unexplained absence continues.
Vice-captain Muller has a new injury problem; unclear how long he'll be out for. Taferner has been doing well in his stead.
Midfield regular Blume is now close to a return. They do miss him.
Ertlthaler, Ranacher, and Prelec were absent from a recent friendly because of injury. The former and latter returned last match but there's no sign of Ranacher, who is unwell. Normally would be a loss but hasn't played well lately anyway.
Key midfielder Kronberger is back despite a report last weekend suggesting he'd miss the game through injury.
Rotation options Forst and Geris may be omitted.
Number one goalkeeper Oswald is a long-term absentee.
Youngster Vötter is injured, and should be out for a while - not a loss.
