Rapid star Burgstaller on the mend after a serious attack!

On Tuesday evening, a 23-year-old man turned himself in to the Vienna police after he carried out an attack on Guido Burgstaller, the star of Bundesliga soccer team Rapid, on Saturday morning. The suspect refused to testify and was taken to a correctional facility laola1.at reported. Burgstaller, who was seriously injured, is on the mend. Rapid trainer Robert Klauß announced to the press at a conference that Burgstaller had been prescribed strict bed rest and would probably have to stay in the hospital for a few more days. Since he will not be able to play for at least three months, the 35-year-old's return is uncertain.

Burgstaller's health progress

Robert Klauß emphasized the positive development after the incident and explained: “The first 24 hours are crucial and they went well.” Burgstaller still suffers from severe headaches, but the coach and the team want him to be able to spend Christmas with his daughter. Midfielder Lukas Grgic also expressed his hope for a quick recovery and emphasized Burgstaller's importance for the team and the dressing room.

Meanwhile, Rapid played in Klagenfurt on Sunday and had to face a hard-fought game. Despite falling behind early with a goal from Ben Bobzien in the fourth minute, the team fought to equalize. Moritz Oswald finally scored the equalizer in the 18th minute, and the game was characterized by intense duels on the pitch. Rapid pushed for the opening goal, but had to stay at 1-1 until halftime. Klauß' team showed a strong performance despite the adversity and remains on track in the league, reports skrapid.at.
