Austria Euro 2024 squad: Who is Ralf Rangnick bringing to the European Championship?
16 December, 2025n8rngtd.top0 Comments1 category
Das Team has qualified for the tournament for the third straight time. But who is in their Euro 2024 squad?
Austria will target to make the knockouts at the European Championships on consecutive occasions.
Heading to Germany after finishing second to Belgium in Group F of the Euro qualifiers, Das Team will be involved in their fifth finals at the tournament.
Having co-hosted the Euros in their maiden appearance in the 2008 edition, they are drawn alongside the Netherlands, France, and either Wales or Poland in Group D this time around.
Ralf Rangnick is the third coach to qualify for the Euros tournament, after Marcel Koller and Franco Foda, with the best performance coming under Foda as Austria reached the Round of 16 at the Euro 2020.
The former Manchester United manager named a 29-man preliminary squad on May 22, along with a list of 12 stand-by players.
After a string of international friendlies against Germany, Slovakia, Turkey, Serbia, and Switzerland, who will make Rangnick's squad for the Euro 2024? GOAL takes a look…
Considering the required mandate of three goalkeepers at the summer finals, Heinz Lindner and Patrick Pentz are likely to make the cut.
Lindner has replaced Red Bull Salzburg's Alexander Schlager in the list, with Niklas Hedl and the uncapped Tobias Lawal likely to battle for a spot.

DEFENDERS
With Stefan Posch and Stefan Lainer as the two options at right-back, Maximilian Wober and Phillip Mwene are the front-runners for the other full-back spot, with Wober capable of slotting in the heart of defence should the need arise.
Philipp Leinhart has recovered from a knee problem to make the preliminary squad, but captain David Alaba is still sidelined through his setback.
Alaba's absense could open the door for Leopold Querfeld to feature alongside Kevin Danso at centre-back.

RB Leipzig's Nicolas Seiwald, besides Florian Grillitsch and Konrad Laimer of Hoffenheim and Bayern Munich respectively, are the mainstays in the middle.
Laimer can also be deployed on the right side of the attack, with Marcel Sabitzer able to run down the left flank, while Romano Schmid can compete with Christoph Baumgartner for a spot in the XI.
