The Austrian national team officially confirmed on Tuesday morning that its star player has been ruled out of the tournament.

Suffering from a right thigh injury, the Austrian playmaker is coming off an absolutely monstrous season with Leipzig, scoring 13 goals and providing nine assists in the Bundesliga.

A standout player in Germany, Baumgartner was clearly Austria’s X-factor, a European dark horse for the World Cup.

The team is in Group J, alongside Argentina, Algeria, and Jordan.
