Austria captain David Alaba was left out of the country’s provisional Euro 2024 squad on Tuesday, but the injured Real Madrid defender will accompany the team to Germany as a ‘non-playing captain,’ the Austrian Football Federation said.
Coach Ralf Rangnick announced the squad of 29 players, taking into account a wave of recent and longer term injuries.

Alaba, who played in two of Austria’s previous Euros appearances in 2016 and 2020, picked up a major knee injury last December.
