Star Players to Watch

David Alaba

The undisputed leader of the team. Still one of the most intelligent and versatile players in world football, Alaba’s experience and quality will be vital.

Marcel Sabitzer

Austria’s midfield driver. Brings energy, goals, creativity and leadership — the perfect fit for Rangnick’s high-pressing system.

Marko Arnautović

The veteran striker and Austria’s all-time top scorer. At 37, “Arni” remains a physical presence and a big-game player.

Konrad Laimer

A tireless midfielder who perfectly embodies Rangnick’s intense style with his pressing, tackling and box-to-box energy.

Christoph Baumgartner

A creative and dynamic attacking midfielder who adds flair and goal threat in the final third.Honorable mentions: Patrick Wimmer, Romano Schmid and young talent Paul Wanner could all make an impact from the bench.Group StageAustria face a difficult Group J:
