Österreich allows Sapatzer a break from European events
The Austrian Football Association announced that national team and Borussia Dortmund player, Marcel Sabitzer, will be rested from participating in the group stage matches of the 2023 UEFA Nations League. This decision comes after a busy season that has effectively spanned three seasons due to scheduling conflicts with the FIFA Club World Cup and the FIFA World Cup. Currently, he is competing in the German Bundesliga, the DFB-Pokal, and the UEFA Champions League. Sabitzer, who has expressed his desire to continue playing at the highest level for several years, has agreed with the coach to take a break to assess his condition before discussing his return to the national team at the beginning of next year. National team coach Ralf Rangnick showed understanding for the decision, noting that the team remains important to the player, and that a decision regarding participation in the Euro 2028 qualifiers will be made before the matches begin. Sabitzer, who has scored 27 goals in 102 international appearances, is considered one of Austria's key players. This休息 (rest) is part of the team’s plan to manage his playing schedule and preserve his energy amidst a crowded calendar.
