A packed schedule

What a week we have in store! There are two matches and numerous birthdays in the coming days.

  • Monday: We are to start our week of work with a training session behind closed doors at 10:30. 
  • Tuesday: On his 57th birthday, Thomas Letsch is to gather his charges at 10:30 for another training session behind closed doors. Hopefully there will be a few congratulations before we head to Dornbirn.
  • Wednesday: It's a matchday and a birthday!  Stevie Lainer turns 33 when we face the second round of the UNIQA ÖFB Cup at FC Dornbirn. Kick-off is at 18:00, with the match broadcast on ÖFB TV in Austria.
  • Thursday: Our hat-trick of birthdays is complete! It will be time to say 誕生日おめでとう (Tanjōbi omedetō), as Takumu Kawamura is to celebrate his 26th birthday - and we wish our Japanese midfielder all the best while we hope to see him back on the pitch soon! There will be training and recovery training at 14:00 on Thursday - after our press conference ahead of our Bundesliga home match can be viewed on an RBS TV live stream from 13:00. 
  • Friday: There will be another training session in the morning in Taxham (behind closed doors) before we battle it out for points again at the weekend. 
  • Saturday: Same time, same place and opponents from the same city! At 17:00 we are hosting FC Blau-Weiß Linz on Matchday 5 of the ADMIRAL Bundesliga in the Red Bull Arena. Tickets are available at our online ticket shop.
  1. Sunday: We finish a busy week with a training and recovery session at 10:30. Our boys can spend the rest of the day at their leisure.
