Guido Burgstaller seriously injured after brutal attack in downtown Vienna

In a terrifying incident in downtown Vienna, the rapid player Guido Burgstaller was brutally attacked early Saturday morning. Reports by today had spent the 35-year-old at the club Volksgarten before he was attacked by an unknown perpetrator on the way home. The attack led to serious head injuries, including a broken skull, which is why Burgstaller had to be hospitalized immediately. It is currently unclear when the football professional, who is known to many SK Rapid supporters, can give his comeback because it will not be on the pitch in the next few months.

Details of the incident

The Viennese police confirmed that there was a dispute between Burgstaller and the attacker before the violent acts occurred. According to the witnesses, Burgstaller was hit to the ground after a brutal blow. Despite the immediate medical care from the professional rescue, all help came too late to prevent his injuries. A spokesman for the SK Rapid commented on the condition of his player: "We wish Guido Burgstaller as quickly as possible and uncomplicated recovery and trust in the responsible authorities that the unknown perpetrator is quickly caught," said the official statement. The association also appealed to the public to respect the privacy of Burgstaller and his family, while the authorities started investigations against the unknown attacker who fled after the incident.
