Frosinone lose ÖFB player Grillitsch for at least a month in Serie A

In the training ground of Frosinone Calcio, a tense silence hangs as the medical team prepares the return of the 31‑year‑old Austrian national team player Florian Grillitsch. The Austrian international had to undergo an operation in Vienna and is expected to be out for at least a month following a hernioplasty with TAPP technique.

Operation and Recovery Plan

The procedure, a hernioplasty with TAPP technique, was successfully performed in Vienna. According to the club, the operation went without complications. This establishes the medical basis for the upcoming rehabilitation.

The downtime is estimated at four to six weeks. Rehabilitation is set to start in the coming days, with the pace depending on the individual recovery process. According to the club, the return will be determined by further medical assessment.

Grillitsch, a 61‑cap international, brings experience to the midfield. His age of thirty‑one years is underscored by his regular national team appearances.

Impact on the Midfield

For coach Massimiliano Alvini, the loss means losing a key midfield option. Grillitsch arrived in the summer from Sporting Braga in Portugal and was expected to shape the creative play.

The absence strains squad planning, as Frosinone currently sit sixth in Serie A. Without him, the team must find alternative solutions to fill the position.

The prolonged absence could affect the club's ambitions this season, particularly in the race for a European qualification spot.
