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.

Match

Cruel end for Wolfsberger AC as Admira Wacker pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Admira Wacker scored in the 92th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Player ratings

Valentino Trimmel scores twice — 8.85

Two goals and a mark of 8.85 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

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 find a way past Wolfsberger AC

Wolfsberger AC made Admira Wacker work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The terraces

Admira Wacker supporters have found a favourite in Marko Grillitsch

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Marko Grillitsch 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Markus Trimmel

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Thomas Grillitsch 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Platon Smirnov

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

Squad

Michael Laimer knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Michael Laimer trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

In brief
