Xaver Schlager

Schlager will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in the Bundesliga.

Schlager was an unused substitute during Austria's 5-1 friendly win over Ghana after experiencing a minor knee problem, with the decision made to rest him as a precaution. Austria head coach Ralf Rangnick said in press conference after the game. "With Xaver, it was similar, he also felt a little something in his knee, but after a few hours of treatment, he was better again. But also there, after the experience of two cruciate ligament tears. Why should we take a risk? We need him for the World Cup, and that's why it was also clear that we wouldn't take any risks there."
