Harnik returns to Austria squad for 2014 World Cup qualifiers against Faeroe Islands, Ireland
VIENNA - Striker Martin Harnik will return to the Austria team for this month's World Cup qualifiers against Faeroe Islands and Ireland.
Harnik, who was out injured for the team's 2-1 friendly defeat to Wales in February, has been included in the 23-man squad announced by Austria coach Marcel Koller on Tuesday.
In his only change to the squad, Koller dropped Rapid Vienna midfielder Marcel Sabitzer in favour of the Stuttgart striker, who has eight goals from 34 international games.
Austria, which plays Faeroe Islands in Vienna on March 22 and Ireland in Dublin four days later, has four points from three matches in Group C, which also includes Germany, Sweden and Kazakhstan.
