Last updated: Sat 04 November 2023 10:40Asllani should start. Potzmann returns. Galvao retutns. Plavotic in individual training. Jukic/Ranftl return. Fitz unwell. Huskovic 50/50.
Claimed a big win away from home against Sturm Graz last weekend. Needed a bit of luck here and there but worked hard as a unit, and held firm after taking the lead.
Defeated Austria Klagenfurt 1-0 in the Cup midweek. Fought hard, looked organised and confident. Lucky to face an opponent with big personnel availability challenges at the moment though.
Defensive issues have been eased now that Potzmann is back, and Galvao is back too. Plavotic has resumed individual training so he's not far off either.
Talented youngsters El Sheiwi and Wustinger are long-term absentees. Both are missed in their own way but neither have played for a long time too. Raguz is another long-term absentee; they miss someone in his position but he's been fit enough to be that person so he's not specifically missed.
Rotation options Baltaxa & Pazourek may be omitted.
Another impressive Asllani showing should keep him starting ahead of Huskovic.
Regular WB Ranftl picked up an injury last match, as did rotation midfielder Jukic. Both returned midweek.
Midfield regular Fitz is unwell. Can be replaced well enough with Fischer back. Fitz should return next week but has been ruled out of this game.
Regular attacker Huskovic is 50/50 to return after injury; not a loss if he fails, given Asllani's form.
Austria Lustenau
Last updated: Sat 04 November 2023 10:40Anderson returns. Diallo + Anthony Schmid also back. Grabher suspended. Rotation likely. Fridrikas injured.
Were annihilated 4-0 at home by TSV Hartberg in the Bundesliga last weekend. Grabher's moment of madness didn't help but it was an awful display in every sense.
Were embarrassed 4-0 by St. Polten in the Cup midweek despite fielding the strongest line-up available to them. Cisse missed a penalty but it was a shocking display from everybody.
Midfield regular Grabher has been slapped with a 3-match ban for his awful challenge in the game against TSV Hartberg. The next game he'll be eligible to participate in is Sturm Graz away.
Captain Maak's situation has become clearer. His back problem is more substantial than first thought, and he is likely to be out until after the winter break. A huge loss.
Regular defender Diallo made his return from injury midweek.
Rotation attacker Anthony Schmid returned from his bout of flu midweek.
Rotation utility man Rafael Devisate has torn his cruciate ligament and will be out for a long time; not a loss.
Key all-rounder Anderson returned last match.
Rotation likely due to an awful showing last weekend plus a midweek match.
Key attacker Fridrikas picked up another injury at the weekend. Was supposed to play but had to pull out of training on Friday, and has now been officially ruled out. Now getting to the stage where he's not missed because of how many games he's already missed.
