Posh ready for Austria<\/h2>\n
Austrian defender Stefan Posch will be available to play against Argentina after breaking his jaw domestically World Cup opening match<\/span>.<\/p>\nCoach Ralph Rangnick said Sunday that Posh, who trained fully the day before the game, had to travel to Los Angeles twice to be fitted with protective equipment so he could play despite the injury.<\/p>\n
“He’s ready to play tomorrow like any other player,” Rangnick said through an interpreter. “Then we’ll see if he starts tomorrow or if he’s put in during the game.”<\/p>\n
Posch suffered a jaw injury in a collision with Jordan during Austria’s 3-1 win in the Group J opener in Santa Clara, California, on Tuesday. There were initially concerns that the 29-year-old Mainz defender would miss the remainder of the World Cup. <\/p>\n
Senegal coach considers changes ahead of match against Norway<\/h2>\n
Senegal coach Pape Thiau has remained silent on any possible changes for the match against Norway.<\/p>\n
“Are we going to change things up a little bit? Well, we’ll see,” Thiau said through an interpreter at a news conference on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Senegal had a tough first half against France on Tuesday, but lost 3-1. Edouard Mendy allowed 3 goals on 8 shots in that match. Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 scores from long range<\/span> Shortly after Senegal finally took the field in stoppage time.<\/p>\nBack-up goalkeeper Molly Diaw also accompanied Thiaw to the press conference, but ruled out playing, suggesting he could start in Mendy’s place.<\/p>\n
With only Iraq remaining after Senegal played Norway in Group I, the Lions of Teranga are treating the second leg as if it were a must-win final.<\/p>\n
“We’re in a very tough group. We knew this was going to happen,” Thiau said. “Obviously we lost the first game, but we have everything left to play. We can’t take this the wrong way.”<\/p>\n
