From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market15 Feb 2027

Valentino Sabitzer hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Mattersburg can pretend not to have heard.

Squad15 Feb 2027

Words exchanged at Mattersburg

Jakob Schöller 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.

Squad15 Feb 2027

A row about effort at Mattersburg

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Heinz Lazaro was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout15 Feb 2027

No hiding place for Abdoulaye Kanté

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Abdoulaye Kanté, and the manager let it.

Squad15 Feb 2027

Mattersburg lose Martin Hinteregger

17 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad15 Feb 2027

12 new faces, and Mattersburg are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Loan watch15 Feb 2027

Maximilian Posch has seen enough of Austria Wien

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Mattersburg, and 0 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.

The dugout15 Feb 2027

When it matters, Marcel Fuchs plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout15 Feb 2027

Florian Wimmer asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Lukas Lienhart damages knee ligaments — 34 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 34 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.

Market25 Jan 2027

Mattersburg say no — this time

The offer from Rapid Wien for Christoph Wober was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

The dugout25 Jan 2027

Wolfgang Lainer: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Mattersburg have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market25 Jan 2027

Philipp Baumgartner hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Mattersburg can pretend not to have heard.

Market25 Jan 2027

Julian Fuchs has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Mattersburg they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Transfer targets25 Jan 2027

Mateja Bubanj is a medical away from Mattersburg

The deal with Admira Wacker is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Words exchanged at Mattersburg

Sebastian Junuzovic 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.

Market25 Jan 2027

Borussia Dortmund are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Mattersburg will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad25 Jan 2027

A row about effort at Mattersburg

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Heinz Lazaro was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad11 Jan 2027

Daniil Sukhoruchko breaks a bone — 17 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 17 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market11 Jan 2027

Austria Wien come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Mattersburg did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market11 Jan 2027

Julian Fuchs agrees terms with Grodig

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Mattersburg people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Squad11 Jan 2027

A move Silvio López would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Silvio López is living that version at Mattersburg, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Markus Baumgartner 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 Mattersburg this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market11 Jan 2027

Newport County watching Wolfgang Lainer

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Mattersburg have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Joher Ospina stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Joher Ospina and Mattersburg agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

Mattersburg rebuffed over Leon Šipoš

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Reggiana have kept their man, and Mattersburg go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

A loan move for Felix Tsimba is in the works

Mattersburg have made the call to Westerlo. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.
