Konrad Laimer trained for the first time this training camp with Austria’s national soccer team on Monday at the ÖFB Campus in Vienna. The Bayern Munich pro completed his first team training session in a week and a half after recovering from a torn muscle fiber in his adductor region and is ready to play in the upcoming Nations League matches on Thursday in Dublin against Ireland and on Sunday in Prishtina against Kosovo. However, Sascha Horvath may be sidelined due to a muscle injury

The LASK captain felt pain in his thigh during training and had to stop early. The exact extent of the injury should be determined following an MRI scan on Monday evening.

Fourteen players took part in Monday’s session. The injured Michael Gregoritsch and Phillipp Mwene still trained separately from the team but are expected to be available for the upcoming matches.

Laimer expressed great satisfaction after the session. “I’m happy to be back and to be able to help the team, both on and off the field. There’s nothing better than being back at the ÖFB and seeing my friends and so many new faces,” explained the Bayern Munich pro. He said he is “fully fit and ready. I’m really looking forward to playing soccer.”

Two players have joined the U-21 team
, however, Christian Zawieschitzky and Vasilije Markovic have already left the senior team. The two teenagers, who made their senior team debuts on Sunday in the 3-1 win against Kosovo at Vienna’s Happel Stadium, will immediately bolster the U21 squad for the decisive matches in the European Championship qualifiers.
