Former Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick has named a 29-man provisional squad for Austria’s Euro 2024 campaign in Germany.
Austria faces a significant challenge as they’ve been placed in Group D alongside heavyweights France, Poland, and the Netherlands. This is arguably one of the toughest group of the tournament, and Austria will need to be at their absolute best to qualify for the knockout stages.
Here’s Ralf Ragnick’s selections:
Goalkeepers: Niklas Hedl (Rapid Vienna), Tobias Lawal (LASK Linz), Heinz Lindner (Union Saint-Gilloise), Patrick Pentz (Brondby)
Defenders: Flavius Daniliuc (Red Bull Salzburg), Kevin Danso (Lens), Stefan Lainer (Borussia Moenchengladbach), Philipp Lienhart (Freiburg), Phillipp Mwene (Mainz), Stefan Posch (Bologna), Leopold Querfeld (Rapid Vienna), Gernot Trauner (Feyenoord), Maximilian Wober (Borussia Moenchengladbach)
Midfielders: Thierno Ballo (Wolfsberg), Christoph Baumgartner (RB Leipzig), Florian Grillitsch (Hoffenheim), Marco Grull (Rapid Vienna), Florian Kainz (Cologne), Konrad Laimer (Bayern Munich), Alexander Prass (Sturm Graz), Marcel Sabitzer (Borussia Dortmund), Romano Schmid (Werder Bremen), Matthias Seidl (Rapid Vienna), Nicolas Seiwald (RB Leipzig), Patrick Wimmer (Wolfsburg)
Forwards: Marko Arnautovic (Inter Milan), Maximilian Entrup (Hartberg), Michael Gregoritsch (Freiburg), Andreas Weimann (West Bromwich Albion)
Rangnick will have to trim his squad down to 26 players before the tournament begins. The coming weeks will be crucial for those hoping to make the final cut.
