Jaw Injury Won't Stop Austria's Posch at World Cup
22 Jun
Summary
- Defender Stefan Posch cleared to play Monday after jaw fracture.
- Protective brace fitted in Los Angeles allows him to compete.
- Austria's first win in 36 years was preceded by his injury.

Austria's defender Stefan Posch will be available for Monday's match against Argentina. He sustained a broken jaw during Austria's recent World Cup opening win. Coach Ralf Rangnick confirmed Sunday that Posch underwent full training and is cleared to play.
Posch received a custom-fitted protective jaw brace in Los Angeles, enabling him to participate despite the injury. This development follows initial concerns that the 29-year-old might be sidelined for the remainder of the World Cup. His availability marks a significant boost for Austria, especially after their first tournament win in 36 years.
