Defender Manuel Ortlechner has been added to Austria's squad for this month's 2012 European Championship qualifiers against Belgium and Turkey.

Austria coach Dietmar Constantini called up Ortlechner on Sunday as a replacement for Sebastian Proedl, who had been ruled out with a left thigh injury.

Austria plays Belgium in Vienna on Friday before taking on Turkey in Istanbul four days later in Group A, which also features Germany, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan.
