Actually, today at the LASK training camp in Belek should have been a really relaxed one: in the morning training, a technical competition in which different disciplines such as forking and target shooting were on the program guaranteed the necessary fun factor, after which LASK coach Thomas Sageder rewarded his kickers with a free afternoon.
While some people were swinging their golf clubs, others used their free time to go shopping, go bowling in the hotel or enjoy the sunny afternoon in 20 degree temperatures. There was also a birthday serenade for assistant coach Maximilian Ritscher: The Sageder assistant celebrated his 30th birthday today in Turkey.

The plane, which left the capital Banjul on Wednesday, had to turn around and land nine minutes after takeoff. According to a statement from the Football Association of Gambia, there was a loss of pressure and oxygen on the plane – the kickers and support staff were in danger of suffocating. A blessing in disguise: 22-year-old Darboe, who is on loan from AS Roma, has already reported to LASK. “He is doing well,” said a LASK club spokesman when asked by OÖN.
No request for Michorl
While the midfielder starts against defending champions Senegal at the Africa Cup on Monday, LASK sports director Radovan Vujanovic is working on further reducing the black and white squad: Husein Balic (LKS Lodz) has already been given up, Tobias Anselm is being replaced Loan club wanted.
The rumors surrounding Peter Michorl – the 28-year-old did not travel to Turkey – regarding a return to youth club Austria Vienna continue. Vujanovic: “We have nothing to give away. But there is currently no request for him either.”
