Alabas comeback: hopes high, team spirit strong than ever!

The injury situation in the team is tense because both Kevin Danso and Stefan Posch are due to thigh injuries. The defense could therefore consist of Alaba, Phillipp Mwene and Philipp Lienhart, while the role of Prass remains questionable due to ankle problems. If Prass is not operational, Mwene will probably switch to the left side, while Stefan Lainer could take the right outside position. Alaba may not be played both games, and Gernot Trauner is available as an alternative player.

Team boss Rangnick could be creative here and withdraw one of his offensive forces, such as Christoph Baumgartner or Patrick Wimmer. Baumgartner is also awarded an award as Austria's footballer in 2024. In the storm, however, Marko Arnautovic seems set. Alaba and his teammates are striving to show their excellent performance at the next games and to be proud of the team and its quality.
