Ralf Rangnick divulgou a lista da seleção austríaca para os dois jogos decisivos do grupo na Liga das Nações. A convocação marca o retorno de Christoph Baumgartner e reserva uma surpresa no meio-campo.
A Áustria soma oito pontos em quatro partidas na segunda divisão da competição. A Irlanda é o primeiro adversário, em 14 de novembro, em Linz. Israel fecha o grupo em 17 de novembro, em Debrecen, na Hungria.
Novidade na lista: o meio-campista Luca Weinhandl, do Sturm Graz, chamado pela primeira vez ao elenco principal depois de se destacar nos torneios austríacos. Caso entre em campo, vai se tornar o quarto mais jovem a vestir a camisa da seleção.
Baumgartner também está de volta, recuperado do problema físico que o afastou da Copa do Mundo e também do começo da Bundesliga, onde defende o RB Leipzig.
O planejamento de Rangnick se apoia em quem joga na primeira divisão alemã: doze dos escolhidos jogam na Bundesliga.
No gol: Lukas Jungwirth (LASK), Alexander Schlager (Werder Bremen), Florian Wiegele (Viktoria Plzeň) e Christian Zawieschitzky (Red Bull Salzburg).
Defensores: David Affengruber (Fulham), Felix Bacher (Lyon), Kevin Danso (Sunderland), Philipp Lienhart (Freiburg), Phillipp Mwene (Mainz), Stefan Posch (Mainz), Alexander Prass (Hoffenheim) e Michael Svoboda (Brighton).
Meio-campistas: Baumgartner (RB Leipzig), Carney Chukwuemeka (Borussia Dortmund), Sascha Horvath (LASK), Konrad Laimer (Bayern de Munique), Christoph Lang (LASK), Xaver Schlager (Nottingham Forest), Romano Schmid (Frosinone), Nicolas Seiwald (RB Leipzig) e Luca Weinhandl (Sturm Graz).
Atacantes: Junior Adamu, do Schalke 04; Michael Gregoritsch, do Augsburg; Marco Grüll, do Werder Bremen; e Sasa Kalajdzic, do LASK.
