Spain & Austria Availability

Current data lists no injuries, suspensions, or questionable players for either Spain or Austria, and there are no recorded missing players for this specific fixture. With no absentees flagged, coaches can, in principle, select from their full 26-man squads, including key figures across all lines: Spain’s creative core of Pedri, Gavi, Dani Olmo and Rodri, plus wide threats like Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams and Ferran Torres, and Austria’s experienced spine featuring David Alaba, Marcel Sabitzer, Konrad Laimer and Marko Arnautovic. No player is currently noted as doubtful or sidelined.

Impact Summary

With both teams projected at full strength and no attacking contributors listed as out, neither side appears to suffer a measurable loss of attacking output based on the available team statistics. The tie should therefore be decided by tactical execution and in-game adjustments rather than enforced selection gaps.
