Brutal attack on Rapid star: Basketballer Burgstaller is fighting for survival!

A brutal incident shakes Austrian football and affects Rapid star Guido Burgstaller. On Saturday morning, the 35-year-old was brutally depressed in front of the Vienna Discotheque "Volksgarten" after an argument with an unknown man. Result: A severe skull base break that requires inpatient treatment in the hospital, such as Today.at . The Viennese police have now identified a 23-year-old suspicious man-an Austrian citizen with Balkans' roots, who was faced with the police after a conversation with his lawyer. Video recordings and testimonies were crucial for the clarification of this incident.

The suspect talks about the crime

The suspect expressed his regret in an interrogation and explained: "I'm terribly sorry." His lawyer Klaus Ainedter said the blows were made from a "short -circuit reaction" of a confrontation that led to a single, devastating punch against Burgstaller. Due to the blow, he fell unhappily and suffered the serious injuries. The 23-year-old then fled in panic from the crime scene and now regrets his action, especially since his father was a big rapid fan. He volunteered for probation and plans an anti -aggression training to make up for his mistake.

While Burgstaller recovered in the Vienna AKH and the doctors report that he is better and no lasting damage can be expected, it is uncertain when the footballer can leave the hospital. However, it is clear that he cannot play for at least three months and the future of his career remains in the room. His contract expires after this season, which increases the concern whether and when it can return to the field, especially in view of the serious incident, as in ainedter.com
