Overview of our boys' international appearances

Lowdown on how they got on

Ten of our Red Bulls have been on international action in recent days. While the boys are now on the way back to Salzburg, we wanted to take the opportunity to see how they got on during the international break.

Alexander Schlager made his comeback for the Austrian national squad after injury, but did not appear in either of the UEFA Nations League matches against Norway (1-2) and Slovenia (1-1). Samson Baidoo didn't play for the main national team as planned, but for the U21s - featuring over the full 90 minutes in a 2-0 away win in European qualifying against Bosnia as well as a 1-4 defeat in a friendly match against England.

Amar Dedic appeared for Bosnia-Herzegovina twice in the Nations League as a left-back. He suffered a 2-5 defeat against the Netherlands before claiming a point against Hungary (0-0). Amar played through both clashes.

Oscar Gloukh suffered two defeats with Israel but was able to get some playing time. He started a 1-3 defeat to Belgium (coming off in the 63rd minute) and our midfield maestro was brought on at the break against Italy (1-2).
Salko Hamzic kept goal twice for Austria U19 in a pair of friendly matches on 7 and 10 September against Belgium.
In a friendly match against England, Oliver Lukic put Croatia U19 ahead from the penalty spot - only for the young Three Lions to level and draw 1-1.
John Mellberg and Sweden U19 contested a friendly match against Denmark that they lost 0-4. Our defensive talent started and was substituted off in the second half with the score at 0-1.
Bryan Okoh had to watch from the bench in a 1-2 European qualifying defeat for Switzerland U21 against Albania, but he came in during the final phase of a 2-0 win against Montenegro to help see the lead over the line.

Kamil Piatkowski was in the Polish national set-up but didn't appear in two Nations League encounters against Scotland (3-2) and Croatia (0-1).
Petar Ratkov was in the Serbian national squad and made two substitute appearances in the Nations League. Our striker was brought on at the end of a goalless draw against Spain and 0-2 defeat to Denmark.
