Last updated: Sat 11 November 2023 07:41Anderson, Frederiksen may return. Fridrikas injured. Grabher suspended. Boateng has joined.
Were unlucky to lose against Austria Vienna last weekend. A lucky late goal saw it end 1-0 when Austria Lustenau held their hosts at arm's length rather effortlessly throughout, although admittedly offered nothing going forward themselves.
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. Have reacted by picking up Kennedy Boateng for free; unclear when he will be able to debutise as he's awaiting a work permit.
Rotation utility man Rafael Devisate has torn his cruciate ligament and will be out for a long time; not a loss.
Key attacker Fridrikas picked up another injury recently. Unclear how serious it is. Normally a loss but he's been missing for so long that it's hard to have that perspective now. Frederiksen picked up a knock last weekend but the expectation is that he'll be able to play some part.
Key all-rounder Anderson picked up a knock against Austria Vienna but they think he'll be ok in time for this game.
Wolfsberger AC
Last updated: Sat 11 November 2023 07:41Altunashvili suspended. Boss Manfred Schmid has a touchline ban. Rieder may be benched.
Annihilated Austria Klagenfurt 4-0 in the Carinthian derby last weekend. Dominated from the start, and could have won even more convincingly.
Although midfield regular Altunashvili managed to sort out his broken nose / face mask issue in time to be a part of the 4-0 derby win against Austria Klagenfurt last weekend, he picked up a booking so is now suspended. A noteworthy loss; he's been instrumental for them this season, although the do have good cover.
RB Novak is back in training after injury. Not an issue if he fails.
Rotation attacker Rocher has a hip injury; not a problem if he's out.
Rotation option Kerschbaumer may be omitted.
Boss Manfred Schmid serves the final match of his touchline ban here.
Boss Schmid unlikely to break up the lethal lightning trio of Boakye, Bamba, and Ballo any time soon so Rieder may have to get used to a bench role.
