Squad30 Jul 2035
The knee: Armando Shashoua out for 85 days
85 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. FAC Wien lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.
Boardroom30 Jul 2035
Pressure builds in the FAC Wien boardroom
The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.
Match28 Jul 2035
9 matches without a win for FAC Wien
The run now stands at 9, and the questions being asked around FAC Wien are no longer polite ones.
Squad30 Jul 2035
49 days out for Dmytro Semenov after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. FAC Wien will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Jackson Muleka: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” FAC Wien have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Marcel Herrmann puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at FAC Wien, and it is not being withdrawn.
Transfer targets30 Jul 2035
Mathys Plessis is a medical away from FAC Wien
The deal with Rapid Wien is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.
Squad30 Jul 2035
Jackson Muleka 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 FAC Wien this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Boardroom30 Jul 2035
6 academy players handed senior numbers at FAC Wien
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.
