Marcel Sabitzer
32-Year-Old
Borussia Dortmund
Bundesliga
Ready to captain Austria
Sabitzer has been named in Austria's World Cup squad and is expected to captain the side and be a key midfield figure throughout the competition under manager Ralf Rangnick.
ANALYSIS
Sabitzer ended the season having made 26 Bundesliga appearances for Borussia Dortmund, contributing one goal and two assists across 1,823 minutes, with manager Rangnick valuing his defensive work rate and pressing intensity over goal output. The veteran brings vast experience of the highest levels of European football, having played at three European Championships before this first World Cup, and his combination of intelligence, physicality and leadership makes him the natural captain of this Austrian generation. Sabitzer heads into the tournament as the heartbeat of a squad coach Rangnick has spent four years building into one of the most tactically coherent sides in European football.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Juventus showing interest
Juventus are interested in signing Sabitzer, according to Ekrem Konur.
ANALYSIS
Sabitzer is under contract at Dortmund, but given the depth the German club has in midfield, it wouldn't be shocking if a move happens in the near future. Sabitzer is one of the most consistent box-to-box midfielders in Europe, and he'd thrive in Thiago Motta's system.
