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, revealed his decision on Thursday. Sabitzer, currently playing for Borussia Dortmund, cited physical fatigue, particularly after the recent World Cup, as a primary reason for his hiatus.
His future with the national team will be reassessed early next year, ahead of the Euro 2028 qualifiers. Sabitzer has had a notable career, previously playing for clubs such as Rapid Vienna, Salzburg, and Manchester United. The match between Israel and Austria is scheduled for next Thursday.
