Austria defender Stefan Posch is set to return to the field for Monday's Group J match against defending champions Argentina after recovering from a broken jaw suffered in the team's opening game. Posch sustained the injury following a collision with a Jordanian player during Austria’s 3-1 victory over Jordan, marking Austria’s first World Cup win in 36 years.

Coach Ralf Rangnick confirmed that Posch has resumed full training sessions and will wear a protective jaw brace in lieu of surgery. The decision to forgo surgical intervention allowed Posch to prepare for the crucial encounter against Argentina, providing a significant boost for the Austrian squad.

Posch’s quick recovery is a positive development for Austria as they seek to build on their strong start in the tournament and challenge a formidable Argentine side. The match is scheduled to take place on Monday, with both teams vying for a favorable position in Group J.
