Salzburg, October 22, 2026
Edmund Baidoo was absent from Salzburg's match against Celje due to an abdominal muscle injury, while a foul situation against Benjamin Verbic went without sanction following a VAR review.
Edmund Baidoo was unavailable for the match against Celje. He sustained an abdominal muscle injury during the final training session. Salzburg therefore had to take the field without the player.
The match was also shaped by a situation near the edge of the penalty area. Shortly before halftime, Salzburg's Kevin Boma brought down Benjamin Verbic. However, the VAR decided not to award a foul, so the original decision stood.
The VAR decision
In the described situation, the VAR reviewed whether Kevin Boma had brought down Benjamin Verbic unfairly. After its assessment, no foul was awarded. No additional sanction was therefore imposed.
