Austria Star Marcel Sabitzer to Miss Upcoming Match Against Israel
Marcel Sabitzer, a key player for the Austrian national football team, has announced a temporary break from international duty, ruling him out of their upcoming Nations League match against Israel. The 32-year-old midfielder, who has earned 102 caps and scored 27 goals for Austria, currently plays for Borussia Dortmund. Sabitzer cited physical exhaustion following the World Cup as a primary reason for his decision.
He has previously played for clubs such as Rapid Vienna, Salzburg, and Manchester United. Sabitzer's future with the national team will be re-evaluated early next year, ahead of the Euro 2028 qualifiers. The match between Israel and Austria is scheduled for next Thursday.
