Dragovic should make a return to the starting line-up

The young Dynamo Kyiv centre-back might have had a nightmarish start to his Euro campaign against Hungary, however, he is still one of the hottest talents out there. His defensive ability and his aerial dominance aided Dinamo Kyiv to qualify to the round of 16 of Champions League 2015-16. The Austrian defensive line will be a hard nut to crack for Iceland with Dragovic in its ranks.

With Manchester United being a long-time admirer, Dragovic has been constantly linked to many teams. His tackling and composure have been witnessed and acknowledged by football pundits around the world. For a centre-back, he shows outstanding skill on the ball and has a few tricks up his sleeve.

A spirited performance will be expected from the young Austrian defender and to check the attacking threat of Iceland, all his experience will be required because of the ‘do or die’ nature of the match.
