Kevin Diks damages knee ligaments — 105 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 105 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.

Franck Honorat runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Borussia Mönchengladbach

Franck Honorat 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.

Match29 Aug 2026

TSG Hoffenheim take the points off Borussia Mönchengladbach

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad31 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Kevin Stöger

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The afternoon belonged to Tim Kleindienst

A mark of 7.76, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A move Raphael Posch 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. Raphael Posch is living that version at Borussia Mönchengladbach, and it tends to show in the first month.

Market10 Aug 2026

Borussia Mönchengladbach sign Raphael Posch, one for the future

Raphael Posch is 20, and Borussia Mönchengladbach have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tim Kleindienst signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Tim Kleindienst commits to Borussia Mönchengladbach for another 3 years.

Tempers go at Borussia Mönchengladbach

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words at Borussia Mönchengladbach training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kevin Diks is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market10 Aug 2026

The clock runs on Florian Neuhaus's contract

48 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

The Mattersburg Sentinel

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market10 Aug 2026

Mattersburg sell their best player to Borussia Mönchengladbach

$10.6M is a serious amount of money and it does not play centre-forward. Everybody in the dressing room knows who used to be looked at when it went wrong.

Market10 Aug 2026

Mattersburg turn down Austria Wien for Florian Köhler

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Florian Köhler scores twice — 8.51

Two goals and a mark of 8.51 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Martin Kalajdzic

Successful dribbles: 30. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The terraces10 Aug 2026

Mattersburg sell a favourite for $10.6M

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Raphael Posch was one of the reasons people came, and $10.6M does not replace that by itself.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Alexander Lainer signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Alexander Lainer commits to Mattersburg for another 4 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Jan Schäfer 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.

The terraces10 Aug 2026

Mattersburg supporters have found a favourite in Florian Köhler

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Florian Köhler has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Jan Schäfer 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.

Borussia Mönchengladbach join the queue for Raphael Posch

Add another name to the list: Borussia Mönchengladbach have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Raphael Posch. The answer from Mattersburg has not changed — yet.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Mattersburg

Jan Schäfer 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.

Words at Mattersburg training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sebastian Dragovic is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Andreas Arnautovic 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.

Christoph Kalajdzic signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Christoph Kalajdzic commits to Mattersburg for another 1 years.

Match1 Aug 2026

Mattersburg and Rapid Wien take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Market3 Aug 2026

No place for Raphael Prass in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Raphael Prass has his answer from Mattersburg; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

The terraces3 Aug 2026

Supporters make their feelings known about Raphael Posch

The speculation has reached the stands, and the stands have answered. Mattersburg would like this settled before it becomes the only thing anybody asks about.
