After Gerd Kragl, defender of the Steinbach Black Wings, was eliminated in the 9th minute with a knee injury, he followed the events (sitting) from the outside until the final siren and was happy about the 2:1 victory over leader Bozen. With a wry smile, of course. Because the 25-year-old from Linz will definitely miss tomorrow’s home hit against Salzburg (7.15 p.m.) and the guest game in Graz on Sunday (4.30 p.m., live ticker on nachrichten.at). “Of course it’s bitter, Gerd is an important player for us,” said Black Wings coach Philipp Lukas.
The Germany Cup (November 10th to 13th) is not an issue either, Kragl canceled Austria’s team boss Roger Bader, club colleague Raphael Wolf was nominated.
It is not yet possible to estimate how serious the injury is. An MRI examination is only scheduled for this morning. According to an initial diagnosis, a month-long absence is not to be feared. “It shouldn’t be that bad,” the medical department said.
Striker Dennis Sticha (foot injury) could return to the team against Salzburg, while Alex Lahoda and Daine Todd, who also started ice training, could make a comeback in two weeks.
