Player Seriously Injured After Attack

The Austrian football player Guido Burgstaller is being cared for in hospital with severe head injuries after being attacked on the street by an unknown man.

The 35-year-old, who plays for Rapid Wien and has made 26 international appearances for Austria, was attacked over the weekend in central Vienna by a man and fell to the ground. Burgstaller suffered, among other things, a skull fracture and will have to spend several days in hospital.

His club says he will probably not be able to play football for several months.
