Subs in decently against Spain
Grillitsch had two tackles (one won), three blocks and one clearance in 45 minutes in Thursday's 3-0 defeat versus Spain.
Analysis: Grillitsch didn't get the nod but was inserted at halftime and did what he could to hold his foes in check in the midfield, putting up decent numbers defensively. Has made just two substitute appearances during the World Cup. He had posted one inaccurate cross and one block in his previous cameo.
Unused substitute in victory
Grillitsch (undisclosed) recorded no stats in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Jordan.
Analysis: Grillitsch was named among the substitutes for Tuesday's 3-1 win over Jordan but did not enter the pitch, with coach Ralf Rangnick opting against using him as Austria managed the game comfortably in the second half following Romano Schmid's first-half opener and the Yazan Al-Arab own goal that restored the lead. The midfielder's inclusion in the matchday squad represented a significant step after the muscular injury that had kept him sidelined since late April, with his presence on the bench confirming his fitness has been sufficiently restored to make him a viable option for the coaching staff. His availability for the next group fixture against Algeria will be monitored closely, with Grillitsch's experience and ball-winning ability from central midfield offering Austria an important alternative.
