Shock for LASK: Andreas Gruber suffered a cruciate ligament tear

LASK will have to do without Andreas Gruber for the rest of the season.  The  25-year-old suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in the 2-1 win against Admira on Sunday and will be absent for at least six months.

 The  offensive player has already scored ten competitive goals this season and contributed eight assists. On Sunday he also made it 1-0 early in the south of the city. “

 The  diagnosis is of course bitter. But I am a fundamentally positive thinking person: I now accept the situation as it is and look ahead.

 The  next weeks and months will be challenging, but I can count on the full support of our team, “said Gruber.

LASK trainer Dominik Thalhammer is also composed: “This injury hits us hard, we will miss Andreas sorely.

 The  important thing now is that he can fully concentrate on his recovery. We will support him as a team to the best of our ability and wish him a speedy recovery! “
