How Jungwirth is doing after his knockout
The LASK goalie briefly lost consciousness in Lisbon and had to be substituted. Afterward, there is cautious relief:
It's quite possible that Lukas Jungwirth no longer remembers the biggest win of his career to date.
The 22-year-old LASK goalkeeper defeated Sporting Lissabon away 3-2 in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday (Match report>>>), but briefly lost consciousness during the match shortly after halftime and had to be substituted.
After coming out well for the ball, Jungwirth collided with Luis Suarez, who was going for the ball without regard for consequences, and sustained a head injury in the process. Suarez escaped without a card, which infuriated Sasa Kalajdzic>>>.
Kühbauer jokes: "At least he still knows me"
How is Jungwirth after the game? "At least he still knows me, that's worth a lot," jokes coach Dietmar Kühbauer on "CANAL+".
"Now I can laugh about it because I believe it's not that dramatic. He was briefly out, but I hope it's nothing serious. He also celebrated with us, so I think he'll be fine," says the Burgenland native.
Jungwirth himself absolutely wanted to continue playing, but the LASK medical team had other ideas. "Luki is someone who always battles through, but the doctor's decision was the right one," says Kühbauer.
