The first in the Bundesliga table will host the leader in points lost on Sunday (5 p.m.): Sturm against Salzburg, the duel between the local Champions League representatives, is the absolute top game in Austria. The fan response proves this. The game is completely sold out – as is the eagerly awaited Graz derby between the Black and Whites against GAK on October 19th. Both matches will again be played in the Graz Merkur Arena. Tickets are still available for the upcoming Champions League home games in Klagenfurt against Sporting Lisbon (October 22) and Girona (November 27), and can also be purchased at the stadium box offices on Sunday.
Andreas Schicker’s departure becomes more concrete
Jon Gorenc Stankovic underwent successful elbow surgery for the Graz team on Sunday and was able to leave the hospital on Wednesday. “He will soon be able to walk again, but duels will probably not be possible for ten weeks. That’s why it will be difficult for him and Gregory Wüthrich, who wears a splint, to still be able to play this year,” says coach Christian Ilzer. The departure of managing director Andreas Schicker to Hoffenheim next week will become more concrete. The German Bundesliga club is said to be prepared to pay the transfer fee demanded by the Graz team because they absolutely want to sign the Styrian.
