Spalt earns call-up to Austria squad for Ireland match

Yanik Spalt has been called up to Austria’s national team for Saturday’s Nations League match against Ireland, ORF reported. The 19-year-old from Nüziders was added to the squad after injuries sidelined Xaver Schlager and Alexander Prass.

Spalt recently made his Champions League debut with VfB Stuttgart. He has played for the club’s second team since 2025 and joined the Bundesliga squad this season, making three appearances. A week ago, he started against Werder Bremen.

Spalt took part in Austria’s final training session at the ÖFB training campus on Friday. Saturday’s match in Linz kicks off at 8.45pm.
