Jon McLaughlin damages knee ligaments — 96 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 96 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Leon Klußmann keeps Grodig in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 14 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

A fracture rules Nils Miatke out for 100 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Grodig will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Match26 Sep 2026
A hiding for Grodig
Beaten 1‑7 by Rapid Wien, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Tempers go at Grodig
Leon Klußmann was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Match26 Sep 2026
Nobody could stop scoring
8 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Grodig and Rapid Wien in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

David Stec gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
Match28 Sep 2026
Grodig at the halfway mark
Half the programme played, position 10, 3 on the board. Doubling it is the sum every supporter has done and the only one nobody at the club will do out loud.

Inquest at Grodig
The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.
In brief
- The dugout Patrick Lienhart faces the questions
- The dugout Vlado Graboviča knocks on the manager's door
- Looking ahead Konstantin Aleksa faces his old club
