Starts on Monday
Posch had two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 2-0 defeat against Argentina. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 40th minute.
Analysis: Posch covered over seven kilometers and also recorded a clearance. He was frequently forced into 2v1 and 3v1 battles as Argentina exploited the right side. He committed a penalty in the seventh minute following a 3v1 situation. Lionel Messi's opener in the 38th minute also came from a build up from the right side.
Gets start against Argentina
Posch (jaw) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Argentina.
Analysis: Posch overcame the fractured jaw sustained against Jordan to earn a starting role, with the custom-made protective mask providing sufficient protection for Austria's medical staff to clear him for the demanding fixture against Argentina. His increased involvement in training had been flagged as an encouraging development, and his ability to push through such a significant injury to earn a starting role is a remarkable show of determination at a critical stage of Austria's World Cup campaign.
