2024-10-01 10:30:50

ÖFB U21 team captain Werner Gregoritsch has announced his squad for the European Championship qualifiers.

With fast forward Nikolaus Wurmbrand there is only one delegate in the current selection. “We have a strong team with great character. The players get along very well with each other, they are a real unit. With Nikolaus Wurbrand we brought in a young player who has a lot of speed, has good technique and plays carelessly. He is ” obviously I’m being thrown in at the deep end now, but he’s proven with his performances for Rapid that he knows where the goal is,” said Gregoritsch.

Rapid’s Christoph Lang, who was in the A-team squad in the spring, is on the call-up list only. Muharem Huskovic, on the other hand, returns after an injury layoff. In the last two games against Slovenia (11/10/H) and against France (15/10/A).

The Austrians are currently in third place with eleven points, ahead of France (13) and Slovenia (16).

If the qualification does not succeed in the fight, Werner Gregoritsch’s chapter in the ÖFB will end after more than twelve years, or the European Championship will be added to it. A possible successor is already being traded >>>
