Club career

Early career

Born in Vaduz, Wieser began his youth career with FC Triesen and moved onto FC Vaduz. In 2006, he continued his youth career with FC Basel playing in the U-16, U-18 and U-21 teams. He signed his first professional contract on his 18th birthday. [1] He played his debut on 20 March 2011 in the 2–1 away win against Grasshopper Club Zürich. At the end of the 2010–11 Swiss Super League season Sandro Wieser won the Super League Championship title with FC Basel.

Because Wieser was born in 1993, he was eligible to play for the newly formed Basel Under-19 team in the 2011–12 NextGen series. He played in his first game against Tottenham Hotspur on 17 August 2011. [2]

On 27 December, Basel announced that Wieser would transfer to German club TSG 1899 Hoffenheim in the January 2012 transfer window. [3] Wieser however didn't manage to earn a spot in Hoffenheim's first squad, being capped in the Bundesliga only once in 18 months. As a result of this, he was put on loan, first in summer 2013 to Austrian side SV Ried and then in next summer to Swiss FC Aarau, each time the loan was terminated to a year. [4]

Foul on Yapi Yapo

FC Zürich launched legal proceedings against Wieser after the 21-year-old committed a knee-high challenge on Gilles Yapi Yapo in a match on 9 November 2014, leaving the former Ivory Coast international's career in serious doubt. [5] Yapi Yapo suffered torn anterior and cruciate ligaments, a torn meniscus, a torn kneecap tendon, serious cartilage damage and deep bruising to his thigh after the incident. [6] Wieser was shown a straight red card for the tackle, and was later suspended for six matches by the Swiss league. [7] With Yapi Yapo highly unlikely to ever play again, club president Ancillo Canepa launched legal proceedings against Wieser. [8]

Reading

On 18 August 2016, Wieser signed a three-year contract with English Championship side Reading. [9]

On 31 August 2017, transfer deadline day, Wieser joined K.S.V. Roeselare on a season-long loan deal. [10]

On 1 June 2018, Wieser was released a year early from his Reading contract by mutual consent. [11]

FC Vaduz return

On 12 June 2018, Wieser signed a three-year contract with FC Vaduz. [12] On 22 July 2018 he scored his first goal for the club in Vaduz's first match of the 2018–19 Swiss Challenge League, a 3–1 victory over FC Chiasso. [13]

International career

Wieser received his first call-up to the senior team in 2009, and made his debut against Iceland on 11 August 2010. [14]
