Nikolaus Wurmbrand will not make his debut in the national football team during the upcoming World Cup qualification matches against Cyprus and Bosnia-Herzegovina. The Rapid striker has departed for the U21 squad.

Austria's national football team will face the World Cup qualification matches on Saturday in Linz against Cyprus and on Tuesday (both at 20:45) in Zenica against Bosnia-Herzegovina without Lens defender Samson Baidoo and Rapid striker Nikolaus Wurmbrand. The two youngsters have left the team camp in Windischgarsten and have joined the U21 squad, with which they will compete in the opening of the European Championship qualification in Georgia against Belarus on Monday. This was announced by the ÖFB on Friday.

First Nomination for Wurmbrand

Wurmbrand, who was nominated for the A-team by head coach Ralf Rangnick for the first time, will not make his debut for the national team for the time being. Neo-France legionnaire Baidoo played his only international match to date in October 2023 against Belgium (2:3).
