The struck Alexander Prass was the only current squad player.
Alaba has contested his 105th and last international match on November 21, 2023 in a test in Vienna against Germany (2-0). A month later, the Viennese suffered a complicated knee injury, which forced him to take a 13-month break. In January Alaba gave his comeback at Real. According to the following adductor problems, he now also seems ready for the ÖFB team.
“I feel very good,” Alaba said at the weekend of the APA. “I’m on a very good way to be back in my top constitution soon.” It would still take a little time to get into the rhythm and to be able to play a game over 90 minutes every three days. It is open whether he would also play the second leg on Sunday in Vienna. Team boss Ralf Rangnick had described it as “not very likely” last week that his top star could play both games throughout the time.
Alexander Prass questionable after ankle problems
Due to the failures of Kevin Danso and Stefan Posch (both thigh injury), Phillipp Mwene, Philipp Lienhart, Alaba and Prass are likely to form the chain of four in the first leg.
