Night of horror: Rapid professional Burgstaller brutally attacked!

Heldenplatz, Wien, Österreich - A dramatic incident in the night of Saturday seriously injured the Rapid professional Guido Burgstaller. In front of a well -known disco in Vienna, the footballer, who just wanted to end a wet party night with friends, came into a violent argument. As the Krone , the group around Burgstaller was provoked by strangers around 6 a.m. at the heroic place, which ultimately led to brutal assault. The striker was attacked with punch and kicked and suffered a skull base break. This meant that he had to be admitted to the hospital where he would stay for the time being.

Investigations in the course

The Viennese police have started the investigation and continues to look for the violent perpetrator. Recordings from the surveillance cameras are evaluated to obtain information on the attacker. Police spokeswoman Julia Schick emphasized that despite the prominent status of Burgstaller, a thorough criminalist work is being sought. Information about possible causes of the argument indicates a mixture of alcohol and jealousy that could have triggered the action. Witnesses have already been interviewed and it is expected that further football professionals will be invited to the investigation.

Burgstaller, who previously switched from FC St. Pauli back to SK Rapid and signed a contract until summer 2024, is currently exposed to the risk of injury, which could seriously endanger his career. Rapid means that the chances of returning to professional sports are not good because his hospital stay could take several days. The association was optimistic about the return of its former star, but now the question is in the room whether and in what form Burgstaller can return after this serious injury. The future of the attacker remains in the suspension.
