Konrad Laimer - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Decent as defensive midfielder Laimer logged one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate), two tackles (one won) and one interception during Austria's 3-1 win Tuesday against Jordan.

Impact Offensively, the biggest contribution Laimer provided was a deflected cross that resulted in Carney Chukwuemeka's shot on goal and near-goal. With the Austrian team's depth including more proven defenders than defensive midfielders, Laimer has shifted up from full-back to CDM, pairing with Nicolas Seiwald. But if Stefan Posch (face) is out long-term, Laimer may revert to a defender if Austria manager Ralf Rangnick prefers promoting one instead of his midfielders. Having logged 18 starts at right-back last season, Laimer is well-versed as both a CDM and RB, and the latter position likely ensures his crosses increase.
