Former Cardiff City forward Guido Burgstaller is out of Austria's squad to face Wales in Saturday's World Cup qualifier in the Welsh capital.
Burgstaller, who played three games for Cardiff during the 2014-15 campaign, has a bruised right foot.
The 28-year-old's absence has been confirmed by his current club, Schalke 04 of Germany's Bundesliga.
He will also miss Austria hosting Group D rivals Georgia, in Vienna, on Tuesday.
Reports in Austria suggest Stefan Hierlander, of SK Storm Graz, will be the replacement for 11 times capped Burgstaller.
