Likely to start on bench Tuesday
Kalajdzic is expected to start Tuesday's UCL opener against AEK Athens on the bench, according to Austrian outlet Krone.
Analysis: Kalajdzic has yet to make his competitive debut for LASK Linz since joining the club from Wolverhampton in the summer transfer window. Due to his lack of match fitness, he's expected to begin the game on the bench rather than in a starting role right away. With Samuel Odeniran (face) out, expect Moses Usor to lead the attacking line.
Plays hero role in draw
Kalajdzic scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-3 draw versus Algeria.
Analysis: Kalajdzic entered the game in stoppage time right after Riyad Mahrez had given Algeria a 3-2 lead, a result that was eliminating Austria from the tournament, but Kalajdzic had other plans. The striker headed home his first touch of the game to salvage a draw, sending Austria to face Spain the Round of 32. Despite being the unsung hero for Austria, Kalajdzic should continue to play a bench role for the European side with Marko Arnautovic likely to continue as the starting forward.
