If Thomas Darazs is the starting eleven Rapid If you guess, the LASK interim coach deserves a prize. Before leaving for Linz I didn’t even know Robert Klauss who will arrive for Rapid on Sunday from 2.30 p.m.
A total of seven Rapid players – in addition to the four fixed absences – are either injured, had no match practice after a break or were injured during the week. “With so many changes, it is clear that we have lost the automatisms,” says Klauß, who reflects on the long injury list thought: “If there was a pattern or a lot of muscle injuries, we would have to question ourselves. But there’s everything there, from fouls with consequences to bad luck.”
