Unused substitute in victory

Grillitsch (undisclosed) recorded no stats in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Jordan.

Analysis: Grillitsch was named among the substitutes for Tuesday's 3-1 win over Jordan but did not enter the pitch, with coach Ralf Rangnick opting against using him as Austria managed the game comfortably in the second half following Romano Schmid's first-half opener and the Yazan Al-Arab own goal that restored the lead. The midfielder's inclusion in the matchday squad represented a significant step after the muscular injury that had kept him sidelined since late April, with his presence on the bench confirming his fitness has been sufficiently restored to make him a viable option for the coaching staff. His availability for the next group fixture against Algeria will be monitored closely, with Grillitsch's experience and ball-winning ability from central midfield offering Austria an important alternative.

Back in full training

Grillitsch (muscular) completed his first full training session with the Austria national team squad on Saturday at the OFB Campus in Vienna, clearing a significant hurdle in his recovery from the muscle injury that has kept him out of competitive action since late April, according to Sky Sports Austria.

Analysis: Grillitsch had already participated in parts of Friday's session and his progression to a full collective training session is the clearest sign yet that he will be available for Austria's World Cup campaign. The midfielder's return is a significant boost for coach Ralf Rangnick heading into the tournament, with Patrick Wimmer (thigh) continuing to train separately and still some way from rejoining the group as the Austrians prepare for their World Cup opener in North America.
