Carney Chukwuemeka's first international start with Das Team lasted only 45 minutes as the BVB star was taken off at the break following a frustrating evening in Dublin.
Borussia Dortmund midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka made his first start for Austria in a 2-2 draw against Ireland but was substituted at halftime after a difficult opening 45 minutes. Following impactful substitute appearances against Israel and Kosovo, Austria manager Ralf Rangnick named the 22-year-old in the starting XI for his ninth international cap, but the team entered the break trailing 2-0.
