Marcel Sabitzer - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Assists Saturday Sabitzer assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 3-0 victory against SC Paderborn.

Impact Sabitzer recorded his first goal contribution of the season Saturday as he assisted Felix Nmecha's goal in the 89th minute. It was the only chance he created in the match and he also recorded four crosses on the attack. Sabitzer has now come off the bench in all three of the team's league matches this season, though he did start the Champions League opener.

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off bench Sabitzer generated one interception in Saturday's 2-0 win over Hamburger SV.

Impact Sabitzer replaced the injured Giannis Konstantelias in the 54th minute and spent most of his time on the left flank. Sabitzer only recorded 10 passes and made a clearance in what was a lackluster performance.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Produces in Spain fixture Sabitzer registered eight crosses (two accurate), two clearances and two chances created and won one tackle in Thursday's 3-0 loss versus Spain.

Impact Sabitzer was one of the few bright spots for Austria in a rough defeat, pacing his side in both crosses and key passes, but his teammates didn't exploit his feeds. He has uncorked at least six deliveries in every World Cup match, accumulating 32 (nine accurate), scoring once and notching five chances created, five tackles (one won) and four shots (two on target).

JULY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Scores vs. Algeria Sabitzer scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), six crosses (three accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-3 draw versus Algeria.

Impact Sabitzer had been one of the most active attacking players for Austria in the first two matches against Jordan and Argentina, and he was rewarded with a goal in this one. The Dortmund playmaker tends to be one of the first names on the team sheet, and that shouldn't change ahead of a difficult Round of 32 matchup against Spain on Thursday. Through three starts, Sabitzer has one goal, five shots, three chances created, 24 crosses and nine corners taken.

Corners make differences Sabitzer logged one shot (zero on goal), 10 crosses (two accurate) and four corners during Austria's 3-1 win Tuesday against Jordan. He also recorded a yellow card in the game's 77...

Impact Though not Austria's captain (that being David Alaba) on Tuesday, Sabitzer led his team offensively against Jordan. He logged more than half of Austria's total and crosses, 17 and three respectively. Sabitzer attempted all of Austria's corners, all from the left side, and they were the difference-maker. During the game's 68th minute, Sabitzer attempted a corner, resulting in Austrian teammate Marko Arnautovic scoring. But after much pressuring from Jordan players for VAR, the goal was ruled out because of a prior handball by Stefan Posch. This is important for later, as eight minutes afterward, Sabitzer attempted another corner, and that effort resulted in an own goal by Yazan Al-Arab. Sabitzer subsequently argued with Jordan defenders, which is how he logged his yellow card. Sabitzer will have to be careful moving forward, but he enters Group J's remaining games with positive momentum nonetheless.

JUNE 17 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to captain Austria Sabitzer has been named in Austria's World Cup squad and is expected to captain the side and be a key midfield figure throughout the competition under manager Ralf Rangnick.

Impact Sabitzer ended the season having made 26 Bundesliga appearances for Borussia Dortmund, contributing one goal and two assists across 1,823 minutes, with manager Rangnick valuing his defensive work rate and pressing intensity over goal output. The veteran brings vast experience of the highest levels of European football, having played at three European Championships before this first World Cup, and his combination of intelligence, physicality and leadership makes him the natural captain of this Austrian generation. Sabitzer heads into the tournament as the heartbeat of a squad coach Rangnick has spent four years building into one of the most tactically coherent sides in European football.

Available off bench Sabitzer (calf) is on the bench for Friday's game against Mainz 05.

Impact Sabitzer returned to training earlier in the week, and he's deemed fit enough to be on the bench. Felix Nmecha and Jobe Bellingham will start in midfield, but Sabitzer should push for regular playing time as long as he stays healthy. This is his return after missing the last six matches in all competitions for BVB.

Back in training Sabitzer (calf) returned to training and could be available for Friday's clash against Mainz, coach Niko Kovac said in the press conference, according to Ruhr24.

Impact Sabitzer, who has missed the last six matches across all competitions due to a groin injury, returned to training and could be available for Friday's match against Mainz.

Impact Sabitzer missed the last five games across all competitions due to a calf injury and will have to miss some more since he is still in rehabilitation training. The midfielder is a regular starter in the midfield under coach Niko Kovac, therefore his absence forces a change in the starting squad, with Jobe Bellingham seeing a greater role in the middle of the pitch.

Doubtful to face Heidenheim Sabitzer (calf) is doubtful for Sunday's match against Heidenheim, according to manager Niko Kovac. "It's not completely out of the question that he won't at least be able to take...

Impact Sabitzer is still dealing with some of his calf injury and is not yet deemed fit, instead doubtful for the contest due to the injury. He will need to be tested, and his option to play will be up to the team doctors. Even if he is fit, a bench spot is likely all he will see, although it appears more than likely they will give him another game to recover.

Out with calf injury Sabitzer is out for Saturday's match against St. Pauli due to a calf injury, according to manager Niko Kovac.

Impact Sabitzer is not with the team for their upcoming game, as he has suffered a calf injury just ahead of Friday's session. This is a tough loss for the club, as he started in their past two games and is a lead midfielder for the team. He will hope for a quick turnaround, with Jobe Bellingham as his likely replacement until fit again.
