The knee: Lukas Görtler out for 20 days

20 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. St. Gallen lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match18 Nov 2026

St. Gallen bow out of the cup

Luzern go through and St. Gallen go home, 1‑2 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Lukas Watkowiak keeps St. Gallen in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Lukas Watkowiak says St. Gallen went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad23 Nov 2026

A falling-out at St. Gallen

Lukas Görtler and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Malamine Efekele was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 20. 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.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑2 Nico Ndoye left the room before anybody could ask which.

Market23 Nov 2026

Carlos Vera Benítez told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Carlos Vera Benítez has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at St. Gallen.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Carlos Vera Benítez 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.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

An offer of $9.5M for Karim Konaté

St. Gallen have gone to Red Bull Salzburg with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Door shut on Dragos Ratiu

St. Gallen asked and Pandurii said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

St. Gallen baulk at the price for Timo Werner

San Jose Earthquakes wanted more than $6.0M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Aliou Baldé

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Lukas Görtler 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 St. Gallen this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Fabian Schnellhardt is a square peg at St. Gallen

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Market24 Aug 2026

St. Gallen buy the years ahead of Andrej Bačanin

He is 19, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Silvan Widmer stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Silvan Widmer and St. Gallen agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Betim Fazliji

“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.

Cyrill May has said yes to Lugano

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. St. Gallen have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

An offer of $2.9M for Anthony Racioppi

St. Gallen have gone to Sion with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Christian Witzig was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 26. 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

Honved come back empty-handed

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

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Justin Möbius due for a St. Gallen medical

Everything agreed with another club, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Lukas Görtler signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Lukas Görtler and St. Gallen agree another 3 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A falling-out at St. Gallen

Lukas Görtler and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market10 Aug 2026

Eyes on Malamine Efekele again

The phone has started ringing about Malamine Efekele again, and this time the name on the line is Grasshopper. St. Gallen are listening politely and promising nothing.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Udinese tell St. Gallen: Idrissa Guèye is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.
