Warning for ÖFB success
Plan changed! Why Arnautovic stayed out
Marko Arnautovic's performance in Tuesday's 2:1 win over Serbia in the European Championship test was already over by half-time. The ÖFB star was substituted earlier than planned due to the risk of a yellow-red card.
At 35 years and 46 days, the oldest ÖFB captain since Toni Polster in September 2000 against Iran (36 years, 175 days) saw an early yellow card against his father's homeland and stayed in the dressing room for the break.
