ÖFB Coach Rangnick Undergoes Ankle Surgery Again
The 67-year-old is expected to spend a few days in inpatient care there and then return to his duties at the ÖFB as soon as possible, according to the association.
Rangnick in Hospital After Another Ankle Surgery
Already on Monday in a week (September 29), Rangnick's squad announcement for the next World Cup qualification double against San Marino and in Romania is scheduled in Vienna. During the last ÖFB training camp at the beginning of the month, the head coach was limited in his mobility. In the team camp in Windischgarsten, he was not only using crutches to spare his ankle but was also frequently seen using the golf cart. During the away game in Bosnia (1:0), the German covered the long distances in the stadium in Zenica with an e-bike.
Rangnick underwent a long-planned ankle surgery in mid-June, but has since repeatedly struggled with problems. Because the wound became infected, another procedure along with a hospital stay was necessary at the beginning of July. Further clarifications were needed afterward, leading to another surgery now.
