The Austrian national team has to accept another failure before the upcoming World Cup. After captain Thomas Raffl’s cancellation, this will now also happen
Nash Nienhuis not be part of the squad.
The 26-year-old defender, a teammate at EC Red Bull Salzburg, is not available for family reasons. Participation in the World Cup is therefore ruled out. In addition to Canadian and US citizenship, Nienhuis also has Austrian citizenship and was considered an interesting option for the defense.
Team boss
Roger Bader had already nominated him for the three-nation tournament in February, but Nienhuis had to miss it even then due to an injury. Now the final cancellation for the World Cup follows.
Already had with before
Thomas Raffl another top performer canceled. The striker is due to give birth to his second child at the beginning of June, which is why he is also not available for the national team.
