Austria call up youngster
VIENNA: Austria have called up 17-year-old David Alaba, whose mother is Filipino and father Nigerian, to face France in their final World Cup qualifier tomorrow.
Alaba, who played in Austria’s Under-21 win over Azerbaijan on Saturday, would earn his first cap aged 17 years, three months and 20 days if he takes the field at the Stade de France in Paris.
Born in Vienna in 1992, he is expected to sign a professional deal with Bayern Munich soon but is currently at their training centre with the German giants’ amateur team.
