Otto Hindrich called up to Romania squad for UEFA Nations League

Romania head coach Gheorghe Hagi has announced his national team squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures in November. Among the selected players is Legia Warszawa goalkeeper Otto Hindrich, who has been called up to represent his country during this international window.

Hindrich will compete for the starting goalkeeper position alongside Stefan Tarnovanu and Laurentiu Popescu during the camp. The selection comes as Celta Vigo goalkeeper Ionut Radu remains unavailable due to injury, creating an opening in the goalkeeping department for the national side.

This is not Hindrich’s first involvement with the senior national team, as he has previously accumulated four caps for Romania. His past appearances include matches against Sweden, which resulted in a 0:1 defeat, and Poland, where Romania suffered a heavy 0:6 loss.

The upcoming matches carry significant weight for Romania, who currently sit at the bottom of their UEFA Nations League group. The team is set to face Poland on November 14 before playing Bosnia and Herzegovina later in the month in two critical tests.

Beyond the standings, the November fixtures may also impact the coaching staff. Romanian media have speculated that Gheorghe Hagi could face dismissal if the team fails to achieve improved results in these imminent competitions.
