Statement from Benjamin Nissner
"Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take part in the Deutschland Cup last year. I’m really looking forward to the tournament, which always features strong, high-quality opponents. And, of course, it’s always great to play in Germany against the German team."
The Austrian squad held a final training session in Salzburg today and will travel to Düsseldorf on Wednesday. Their opening match takes place on Thursday against the hosts, Germany.
