In a recent European Championship Group D match, Austria defeated Poland 3-1, sending the latter out of the tournament and securing their own chance to advance from the group of death.
They face a tough opponent in the Netherlands in their final group stage match, a victory that would guarantee them a place in the round of 16. However, Austria now faces a challenge – in the match against Poland, 32-year-old Feyenoord defender Trauner opened the scoring in the 9th minute, but had to be substituted in the 59th minute due to a thigh injury.
The loss of the experienced defender would be a huge blow for Austria if he is unable to face the Netherlands.
Trauner said after the match: “I hope I can return to the team quickly. My hamstring is fine, but another muscle feels uncomfortable. Hopefully it’s just a cramp. We’ll see in the next few days.”
