Austria XI vs Turkey: Starting lineup, confirmed Euro 2024 team news, predicted lineup, injury latest today

Patrick Wimmer is not available for Austria today when they play Turkey in the Euro 2024 last-16.

Ralf Rangnick’s side are out to press home their credentials as the genuine dark horse to go all the way in Germany having topped a difficult group also featuring the Netherlands and France.

Former Manchester United midfielder Marcel Sabitzer has been entrusted with an advanced role in a 4-2-3-1 setup which will be without Wolfsburg ace Wimmer due to a one-game ban on Tuesday.

Bundesliga stalwarts Konrad Laimer and Christoph Baumgartner, who plies his trade in Leipzig where this tie will be played, both come in while Romano Schmid keeps his place out wide.

Austria’s run has been all the more impressive given the absence of David Alaba for the entire Euros and finding a first-choice defensive setup has perhaps been the biggest challenge for Rangnick.

On Friday, both Gernot Trauner (thigh) and Phillipp Mwene (illness) missed training while Philipp Lienhart and Leopold Querfeld required more time to recover from beating the Dutch and so worked away from the rest of the squad.

Lienhart started alongside Maximillian Wober last time out but Trauner and Kevin Danso have also been picked during the group stage, with Mwene up against Alexander Prass for the nod at left-back.

Mwene and Lienhart are both fit to start against Turkey, with Danso replacing Wober and Trauner out. Querfeld is on the bench, where is joined by Florian Grillitsch.

Austria XI: Pentz, Posch, Danso, Lienhart, Mwene, Seiwald, Schmid, Baumgartner, Laimer, Sabitzer, Arnautovic
