The LASK Courier
Squad18 Oct 2027
70 days out for Marko Lienhart after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. LASK will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.
Match18 Oct 2027
LASK refuse to drop out of the race
Position 3, 15 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.
The dugout18 Oct 2027
Mohamed Sanogo keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” LASK may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.
Market18 Oct 2027
Marco Grüll wants to know where this is going
“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at LASK hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

A falling-out at LASK
Kasper Jørgensen and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Andrés Andrade 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.

The crowd has taken to Edmund Baidoo
At 21 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.
Match16 Oct 2027
Martin Ádám sends LASK past Sturm Graz
It finished 2‑0, and it was Martin Ádám’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to LASK.
Player ratings18 Oct 2027
Marco Grüll takes the honours
Marked 7.94 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, LASK had the best player on the pitch.
In brief
- The dugout Xavier Mbuyamba gets it from the manager
- The dugout A satisfied Dominik Kalajdzic
- The dugout LASK pick somebody else ahead of Atsushi Zaizen
