Market

SC Freiburg come back empty-handed

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

Squad

Tempers go at FC Augsburg

Keven Schlotterbeck 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.

Market

Han-Noah Massengo wants to know where this is going

Transfer targets

FC Augsburg rebuffed over Mamour N'Diaye

Match

Squad

A row about effort at FC Augsburg

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Michael Gregoritsch was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

In brief
