Fischer with a bloody lip: Madness randals in the WAC game!

Fischer with a bloody lip: Madness randals in the WAC game!

In an exciting but goalless Bundesliga duel, the game between FK Austria Vienna and the Wolfsberger AC (WAC) ended 0-0. However, Austria captain Manfred Fischer did not leave the field intact: he had to be treated with a bleeding and thick lip. After the game, Fischer commented critically about the rough boarding of WAC player Chibuike Nwaiwu, who hit him with full force on his face. Fischer commented on the incident and described the entry as "madness", especially when he looked at the TV time magnifying glass, which showed the intensity of the action.

The game was of great importance not only for fishermen, but also for the WAC. In the current table, the Wolfsberger AC is only one point behind Rapid Vienna and two points behind the reigning master Sturm Graz. WAC coach Didi Kühbauer described the upcoming game against Sturm Graz, which is scheduled to take place on Sunday at 2:30 p.m., as a "Hercules task". He emphasized the need to provide a strong defensive and to ensure a good ball distribution on the offensive to be successful against the master.

The challenges of the WAC

The signs for the duel are challenging because Omic, an important player in defensive midfield, is due to an injury. The newcomer Chibuike Nwaiwu is expected to be in the starting eleven to strengthen the defensive. Markus Pink, on the other hand, was able to recommend a place in the first team in the last training sessions. Pink pointed out that Sturm Graz acted with intensive pressing and explained that WAC wanted to appear with similar intensity. Kühbauer expects both a difficult and an exciting game that will be an interesting challenge for both teams.

In the current international break, the teams are now concentrating on the Bundesliga again after being interrupted for a few weeks. The injury situation in the league reflects the challenges, with frequent muscle injuries, which are the most common type of failures. Thighs, knees and ankles are often affected. These injuries are a result of the high level of competition and similar training methods, which are now established in many teams. The Bundesliga injury table shows the unusual players who are missing to the teams in the tension-charged second half of the season, which lasts until the last match day.

The upcoming season promises to be exciting both in the table and on the field. Already on Saturday, TSV Hartberg will meet Austria Klagenfurt in the Wörthersee Stadium, followed by another important derby between SK Rapid Vienna and FK Austria Vienna on Sunday. In the German Bundesliga, on the other hand, Bayern Munich's dominance ensures conversation, while Borussia Dortmund is severely affected by injuries. This imbalance could influence the dynamics of the title and the challenges for the players.
