AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Austria coach Franco Foda said forward Marko Arnautovic's one-match ban following his angry goal celebration in their Euro 2020 opener was a blow but they have the squad depth to overcome his absence in Thursday's Group C game against the Netherlands.

Earlier on Wednesday, European soccer's governing body UEFA banned Arnautovic for "insulting another player" in the team's 3-1 victory over North Macedonia on Sunday.
