A fracture rules Philipp Simon out for 63 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Mattersburg will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Guido Wimmer stands alone
9 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.
Transfer targets30 Jul 2029
Mattersburg agree $330.0K for Daniel Antosch
The clubs have shaken hands with Admira Wacker; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Lukas Lienhart is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Words exchanged at Mattersburg
Sandro Ingolitsch 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.

Graduation day at Mattersburg
5 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.

Mattersburg promote Andreas Dragovic from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Andreas Dragovic has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Raphael Weimann steps up from the Mattersburg academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Raphael Weimann has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Mattersburg promote Patrick Trimmel from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Patrick Trimmel has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
