Squad24 Aug 2026
A knee injury of the worst kind for Peter Hartmann
19 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Mattersburg lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Market24 Aug 2026
Florian Schlager 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.

Words exchanged at Mattersburg
Dominik Trimmel 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.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Alexander Lindner was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 18. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
Guido Lazaro did the work nobody counts — 6.49
9 combined actions and 6.49. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
No hiding place for René Zia
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to René Zia, and the manager let it.
In brief
- The dugout Julian Fuchs: “No excuses”
- Squad Philipp Simon is a square peg at Mattersburg
- The dugout Mattersburg pick somebody else ahead of Julian Baumgartner
