Real Madrid defender David Alaba will join Austria for Euro 2024.
The veteran defenseman missed the second half of the season with a knee injury.
Los Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti has chosen to keep him involved in the first team in recent months because of his experience.
He was included in their squad for the UEFA Champions League final win against Borussia Dortmund despite not being fit to play in the Wembley Stadium clash.
