ÖFB head coach Ralf Rangnick is absent from the perspective course because he is still recovering from an ankle surgery. "On the advice of my doctor, I am continuing the medical rehabilitation so that I will be fit again by the beginning of September," said Rangnick via ÖFB on social media.

Ankle Surgery After Inflammation for ÖFB Head Coach Rangnick

The 67-year-old underwent a long-planned ankle surgery in mid-June. Another procedure was necessary at the beginning of July because the wound had become inflamed. The next team course will take place at the beginning of September, with Austria facing Cyprus in the World Cup qualification on September 6 in Linz and Bosnia and Herzegovina on September 9 in Zenica. Instead of Rangnick, the perspective course will be led by U21 head coach Peter Perchtold. Perchtold will be supported by the two A-team assistant coaches Lars Kornetka and Stefan Oesen.
