Defender Gernot Trauner did not suffer a serious injury during Austria's European Championship victory against Poland (3:1) on Friday!

However, the 32-year-old, who scored the opening goal against Poland, is suffering from a muscular problem in his thigh, an ÖFB spokesman confirmed on Saturday evening after an MRI examination.

It is doubtful whether the Feyenoord Rotterdam legionnaire will be able to play in the final group game against the Netherlands on Tuesday (6pm).
