Austria call for Sabitzer despite Man Utd absence

Manchester United loan star Marcel Sabitzer has been called up for the Austrian national team for the upcoming internationals.

The midfielder has been out of action in recent matches, despite impressing earlier in his loan spell.

Sabitzer, who arrived on deadline day in January from Bayern Munich, may be able to play for United in the Europa League on Thursday or the FA Cup at the weekend.

The 28-year-old is in the Austria squad, which means he may have proven his fitness to their coach in recent days.

Sabitzer will have involvement for United after the international break, given fellow midfielder Casemiro will still have to serve three games of a four-game domestic ban.
