Austria's Konrad Laimer Out of UEFA Nations League Matches Against Israel
The Austrian national football team will be without a key player, Konrad Laimer, for their upcoming UEFA Nations League matches, including their game against Israel. The Austrian Football Association announced that Laimer, a midfielder for Bayern Munich, suffered a minor injury during his club's training session. He will miss the first two matches of the current international window, which are against Israel and Kosovo.
Laimer was expected to captain the Austrian squad. His absence adds to a list of significant players unavailable for Austria, including David Alaba and Christoph Baumgartner, who are also injured. Additionally, Marcel Sabitzer is taking a break from the national team.
The Israeli national team is set to begin their Nations League campaign this Thursday with a challenging away match against Austria. The news of Laimer's unavailability is considered a positive development for the Israeli team.
