After the derby scandal
EM dream lives! Rangnick “pardons” Rapid duo
After not being in the ÖFB squad for disciplinary reasons in the test matches in March, the two Rapid players Marco Grüll and Niklas Hedl are nevertheless in the extended squad for the European Championship.
Due to homophobic and abusive chants after the derby win against Vienna's Austria a few weeks earlier, team boss Ralf Rangnick had omitted Grüll, Hedl and Guido Burgstaller from the squad for the games against Slovakia and Turkey.
"They contacted me by phone and apologized. In this case, however, I expect them to deal with it seriously. That's something I won't tolerate in my team," said the team boss at the time, clearly criticizing the trio.
Burgstaller not nominated
Grüll and Hedl can now join the preparation camp and hope to take part in the European Championship. Burgstaller's dream of playing at the EURO in Germany, on the other hand, has been dashed (for the time being) - he is only on call-up.
