Austria Names Squad for Nations League Matches Against Israel
Austria's national football team coach, Ralf Rangnick, has announced a 27-player squad for four upcoming UEFA Nations League matches, including a fixture against Israel on September 24. The Austrian team will be without several key players: Christoph Baumgartner is injured, Marcel Sabitzer is taking a break from the national team, and veteran captain David Alaba, who left Real Madrid this summer, is currently without a club.
Notable inclusions in the squad are Bayern Munich midfielder Konrad Laimer and Schalke defender Maximilian Wöber, who missed the World Cup. Rangnick has also called up three players for their potential senior debuts: goalkeeper Lukas Jungwirth of Salzburg, midfielder Veseljac Markovic from Austria Vienna, and defender Felix Bacher of Lyon.
Austria is scheduled to host Israel in Linz on September 24. Three days later, they will play Kosovo in Vienna. Their final two Nations League games will be away matches against Ireland on October 1 and Kosovo on October 4.
