This year's UEFA European Championships, Austria's performance is like a bright star, which has made countless fans glancing at them. Not only did they beat France and Holland in Group D as dark horses to top the group, but they also encountered an unprecedented defense challenge in the Round of 16 clash in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Four key defenders were unable to participate in Friday's training due to injuries, which was a tough test for team leader Ranilic.

Despite Austria's 3-2 comeback against the Netherlands in a thrilling game, the team is in a serious injury situation. Four keepers missed Friday's training session due to injuries, with Chaona suffering a thigh injury, Fira McWeeney with a suspected cold, while Fira, as well as Hert and Kiafter, also went down. They had to train individually and were unable to prepare with the team.

Despite this, Austria managed to finish in the top 16, equaling their best result from the last Euro. If they can build on this victory, they will be looking to make history, and they are undaunted by the prospect of facing a tough opponent in Romania or Rumania, confident in their ability to go the distance.
