Peter Lindner damages knee ligaments — 20 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 20 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

46 days out for Sebastian Bauer after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Altach will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Yann Massombo 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 Altach can pretend not to have heard.

Medical ends the Valentin Oelz deal
Everything was agreed with Blau-Weiß Linz and then the doctor spoke. Altach have walked away from a signing on the advice of somebody who never saw him play, which is how it is supposed to work.

Valentino Massimiani due for a Altach medical
Everything agreed with Amstetten, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Mike-Steven Bähre 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 Altach this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Altach make their move for Simon Nesler-Täubl
$41.0K on the table at Austria Lustenau. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Too dear: Altach walk away from Sebastian Pschernig
$43.0K was the most the club would pay and Austria Klagenfurt were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Graduation day at Altach
3 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.
