Bad news for Austria's national team one day before their Nations League home clash against Ireland.

The ÖFB team will have to do without Xaver Schlager and Alexander Prass. Both players have been ruled out due to thigh muscle injuries.

While Schlager suffered an injury to his right thigh, Prass has been sidelined with an issue in his left thigh.

Spalt receives late call-up

Head coach Ralf Rangnick has consequently called up Yanik Spalt from the Under-21 national team.

The 19-year-old will take part in Friday's final training session at the ÖFB Campus with the squad before traveling to Linz with the team.

The extent to which Schlager and Prass might become available again as the international break progresses will become clear in the coming days.
