Day two at the Sturm camp in Marbella. The "Steirerkrone" takes a close look at the champion's legs during the intensive week of preparation under the Spanish sun. You won't miss a thing with us.

Under the strict eyes of head coach Jürgen Säumel and assistant Michael Madl, the double winners complete their sweat-inducing sessions in the Spanish luxury camp. Where the black-and-whites don't really have to do anything (see below).

The conditions for Biereth, who has been linked with a transfer to AS Monaco, and Co. could not be better. On Wednesday, January 8th, Sturm will be in action for the first time in the new year against Swiss test opponents FC Lugano (3pm).

See below for a few impressions of Sturm's morning session on Tuesday. The Black & Whites are still preparing until Sunday at the camp just 20 minutes from the city of Marbella, which is currently just under 16 degrees. With the exception of Manprit Sarkaria, who is allowed to look for a new club, all the players are on board. Jacob Hödl missed the last few sessions, after adductor problems the young midfielder rushed to the nearest hospital for an MRI check.
