Austria aim for win in Israel

First Published: May 28, 1999

Group Six leaders Austria have announced their squad for the trip to Israel next month.

The Euro 2000 qualifier will see Austria try to win an away win that could help to arrest the formidable challenge Spain is making in the section and Otto Baric's side bears some scars from their 9-0 mauling by the Spanish only three months ago.

The numbers are likely to be cut back to 18 from the 22 named before Austria travel out to meet Israel in Tel Aviv on June 5th.

The squad in full -

Goalkeepers - Wohlfahrt and Knaller

Defenders - Kogler, Feiersinger, Schoettel, Neukirchner, Winklhofer and Barisic.

Midfielders - Cerny, Herzog, Kitzbichler, Amerhauser, Kauz, Reinmayr, Maehlich, Rohseano, Prosenik and Schopp

Forwards - Vastic, Glieder, Haas and Mayrleb
