Dejan Ljubicic
28-Year-Old
FC Schalke 04
Called up by Austria
Ljubicic has been called up to Austria's World Cup squad as a direct replacement for the injured Christoph Baumgartner, his club announced.
ANALYSIS
Ljubicic's inclusion gives coach Ralf Rangnick an experienced midfield option to fill the significant void left by Christoph Baumgartner's tournament-ending injury (thigh). The midfielder now joins the Austrian squad ahead of their World Cup opener against Jordan on June 17, with the coach hoping he can provide the creative and dynamic qualities needed to compensate for the loss of one of the squad's most important players.
