Squad

Marcel Sabitzer breaks a bone — 107 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 107 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match

6 matches without a win for Admira Wacker

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Admira Wacker are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Jo Coppens 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 Admira Wacker this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Admira Wacker training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marko Alaba 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Jo Coppens

“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.

Match

Admira Wacker come up short against Rapid Wien

Rapid Wien left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Marcel Sabitzer breaks a bone — 123 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 123 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Valentino Trimmel 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 Admira Wacker can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Both of them Markus Trimmel's — 8.53

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.53, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match

4 matches without a win for Admira Wacker

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Admira Wacker are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Carlos Gutiérrez

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

Marcel Sabitzer breaks a bone — 130 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 130 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Peter Fuchs

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at Admira Wacker

Carlos Gutiérrez 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.

Squad

Marko Alaba 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.

Match

Admira Wacker come up short against Austria Wien

Austria Wien left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings

David Ulmer's mistake decides it

Ten men and a goalkeeper behind him, and it still finished in the net. He knew before anybody told him, and nobody at Admira Wacker needed to.

Squad

A fracture rules Marcel Sabitzer out for 138 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Admira Wacker will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Tempers go at Admira Wacker

Michael Laimer 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.

Match

Admira Wacker come up short against Wolfsberger AC

Wolfsberger AC left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

No hiding place for Jo Coppens

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

Squad

Words at Admira Wacker training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Florian Wustinger 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.

Player ratings

Carlos Gutiérrez runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Talks stall between Admira Wacker and Thomas Grillitsch

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

The terraces

Everybody has an opinion about Marcel Sabitzer

He is the name in every column and on every phone-in, which is a heavy thing to carry at any age. Some footballers thrive on it; others are quietly finished by it.

Player ratings

Thomas Grillitsch changes it off the bench

He was not in the side at half past three and he had settled it before five. Half an hour, and Admira Wacker had a different afternoon.

Player ratings

Carlos Gutiérrez runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 62. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Wolfgang Kalajdzic puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Admira Wacker, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Jo Coppens 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 Admira Wacker this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Marko Alaba

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Market

Admira Wacker and Jo Coppens are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad

Words at Admira Wacker training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Wolfgang Kalajdzic 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.

Squad

Platon Smirnov named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Platon Smirnov is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Marko Alaba

7.17, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Admira Wacker had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Squad

Jo Coppens 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 Admira Wacker, and both men came out saying it was fine.
