The Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz Chronicle

A knee injury of the worst kind for Luka Marjanac
115 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

A fracture rules Nenad Cvetković out for 51 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Bonaventure Lendambi has said yes to Hertha Wels
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Johannes Tartarotti says Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz 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.

A falling-out at Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz
David Puntigam and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz
The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Constantin Reiner 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.

Sturm Graz tell Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz: Moses Usor 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.

The manager makes an example of Joe Ward
“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.
