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.

Arnautovic, who also lashed out at North Macedonia fans, apologised on Monday but denied using racist language. "As a team we must get closer together. We had thought about putting him in the starting lineup, but now we have to rethink it but we will present a strong team.""... But he admitted his mistake and apologised after the match," Foda added.

The Netherlands marked their return to a major tournament for the first time in seven years with a 3-2 win over Ukraine and Foda said he expects a tough test.
