1. FC Köln: Rangnick ignores Kainz in the Austrian national team

He has been in impressive form for weeks and is one of the pillars of the 1 team. FC Köln.

In the current season, Florian Kainz (29) has already collected seven points (two goals, five assists) in ten competitive matches. The Austrian is undoubtedly one of the best players in Cologne.

Ralf Rangnick ignores Florian Kainz

But: he played his last international match with the Austrian national team on 12 October 2021, at the time still under Franco Foda (56).

Ralf Rangnick (64), who has been coaching the ÖFB team since 1 June 2022, has not yet called Kainz in the squad and will remain so for the time being!

Because the former Bundesliga manager did not nominate Kainz for the upcoming Nations League matches against France (September 22, 2022) and Croatia (September 25), despite his excellent performance.

However, the 1. FC Köln is represented in the ÖFB team in the two international matches, in the person of Dejan Ljubicic (24). The Viennese also played well this season and has already scored five goals in eleven games.
