ÖFB sports director Peter Schöttel explains Dragovic

Ralf Rangnick nominated his first ÖFB squad. Not included: veteran Aleksandar Dragovic. Sports director Peter Schöttel now tried to explain the decision.

Ralf Rangnick's first ÖFB squad delivered at least small surprises. Daniel Bachmann, Aleksandar Dagovic and Andreas Ulmer were left out, new teams Martin Fraisl, Kevin Danso or Feyenoord-Service Gernot Trauner are new.

The lack of routine Dragovic caused upholstery. "That was probably the most difficult personnel decision. 'Drago' has 100 caps, of course it is disappointed that he is not in the squad. We have an extremely large number of good players in this position in this position," explained their performance there, "said Schöttel the decision.

However, the door remains open to the 31-year-old: "Because we know Drago very well, Ralf has decided to use this course to see the others. I would like to emphasize that is a decision for this course. He is yes also on call. "

Also not there is Julian Baumgartlinger, which was less surprising. "He has had a lot of bad luck in the past year and a half years and has hardly played. He came in in the last game at Leverkusen for an hour, but we believe that games against the world champion, vice world champion and twice Denmark are difficult for someone, that cannot be 100 percent at all. That is why he is only on call this time, "said the sports director.
