Why is Austria defender Stefan Posch wearing a jaw brace vs Argentina?
Posch sustained a broken jaw during Austria’s 3-1 win over Jordan in his side’s tournament opener.
Head coach Rangnick revealed that the defender had to go to Los Angeles twice to get fitted for a protective jaw brace that would allow him to play with the injury.
Following a CT scan, it was deemed that the defender would not require surgery.
