Injury Jaw
Est. Return 6/22/2026
Trains partially with team
Posch (jaw) took part in a portion of Austria's training session at Harder Stadium with a special brace made for him in Los Angeles, though it remains unclear whether he will be able to play against Argentina, according to the Austria federation.
ANALYSIS
Posch's involvement in training, even in a limited capacity, is an encouraging sign following the fractured jaw he sustained against Jordan, though Austria's medical staff will need more time to determine his readiness for the next group stage clash. Konrad Laimer and Alexander Prass remain on standby at right-back should Posch be unable to feature against Argentina.
