Burgstaller comeback?
No risk at Rapid – not even in the Vienna derby
Storm worries in Hütteldorf: Jansson and Mmaee will certainly not be able to play against Austria. But there is a chance of Burgstaller making a comeback as a wild card.
"We can all take a leaf out of his book. The way he runs, fights - we miss him," enthused Rapids midfielder Grgic about Guido Burgstaller after the 1:1 in Wolfsberg. Even at the age of 35, the veteran can still make the difference for Green-White.
Also against Austria? The possibility exists. Burgstaller returned to team training on Friday. If he can also complete the last session on Saturday, Burgi will probably be a wild card on the bench on Sunday. The only good news from the green-white offense.
Even in the big Vienna derby, coach Klauß will not be taking any risks in terms of personnel, as the alternatives remain limited. Jansson rested the whole week, his "irritated knee" needs rest - the Swedish bomb is not an option tomorrow. As are Furkan Dursun and new striker Ryan Mmaee. Actually signed at the last minute as immediate help. "He passed the medical check, then complained of discomfort in the first training session," said sporting director Katzer. Who nevertheless considers the loan from Stoke to be sensible: "We wanted to position ourselves more broadly, the season is still long."
Lifted to the skies
Which is why Nikolaus Wurmbrand will probably start alongside Beljo again tomorrow. Although after the 1:1 in Carinthia with the youngster's first goal, Klauß didn't like the fact that "the media are praising the 18-year-old to the skies. And then he is dropped."
