Storm attacker out

Slight all-clear – but Jatta back on ice

The run of bad luck for striker Seedy Jatta continues. The Norwegian suffered a knee injury in the 2-2 draw in the test against AS Monaco, when he had to be substituted early on. The injury does not appear to be too serious, but Jatta will miss out again for the time being.

Unfortunately, Jatta is the ultimate Graz jinx. After a lumbar vertebrae fracture, torn muscle fibers and syndesmosis ligament rupture, the 21-year-old spent 129 days in the hospital in Graz in his first year of contract. The Viking had only just fought his way back in the current preparations - and, according to sporting director Andi Schicker, "cut a good figure". Now, however, the next setback has occurred.

After an MRI examination on Monday, the all-clear could at least be given. It is an injury to the collateral ligament. However, no operation is necessary, which means that Jatta's downtime should at least not be too long. However, Seedy will be on ice for the first few weeks (as has been the case far too often recently).
