Savo Rakić damages knee ligaments — 60 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 60 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.

Lukas Hiermann asks to leave Grodig

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Leon Klußmann falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Words exchanged at Grodig

David Drljić and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Thomas Niedermüller 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.

Transfer targets4 Jan 2027

Grodig ask about Patrick Ciurria

A loan enquiry to Monza: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Grodig try to borrow Alessandro Capelli

Padova have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Vlado Graboviča knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Grodig, and both men came out saying it was fine.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad23 Nov 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Jon McLaughlin

35 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Grodig lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match21 Nov 2026

No end in sight to Grodig's wait for a win

11 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Grodig has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Nils Miatke breaks a bone — 38 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 38 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match21 Nov 2026

No clean sheets in sight for Grodig

11 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Squad23 Nov 2026

A one-man rearguard from Leon Klußmann

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Alexander Schwaighofer in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Grodig this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match21 Nov 2026

6 goals as Grodig and Red Bull Salzburg go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Grodig and Red Bull Salzburg, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Match21 Nov 2026

A bad afternoon for Grodig against Red Bull Salzburg

2‑4 to Red Bull Salzburg, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Daniel Leitz 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.
