Squad

Kevin Danso breaks a bone — 58 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 58 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Clement Bischoff

Successful dribbles: 35. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Clement Bischoff 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 Red Bull Salzburg this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Philipp Fuchs is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Red Bull Salzburg is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Yorbe Vertessen 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.

Market

Paco Esteban wants more than Red Bull Salzburg are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Player ratings

Anthony Bermont runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 64. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

A fracture rules Kévin Boma out for 88 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Red Bull Salzburg will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Alexis Vossah is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Red Bull Salzburg is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Match

8 unbeaten for Red Bull Salzburg

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 8 matches without defeat is a foundation Red Bull Salzburg did not have in the autumn.

Squad

Tempers go at Red Bull Salzburg

Yorbe Vertessen 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.

Squad

Words at Red Bull Salzburg training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Clement Bischoff is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Red Bull Salzburg count the cost of losing Alexander Baumgartner

33 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Player ratings

Anrie Chase stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.65 on the card, and the Red Bull Salzburg support went home talking about one name.

Match

Red Bull Salzburg and Sturm Graz cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Sturm Graz came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.
