Affengruber has returned to training with Elche following his World Cup campaign with Austria, the club posted.
Analysis:Affengruber had a quiet World Cup, included in Austria's squad but not featuring at all across the competition. He now returns to Elche, where he remains an essential part of the back line after being a key figure in the club's promotion to La Liga and their survival battle last season, standing as one of the center backs least prone to rotation on the roster. Affengruber made 36 appearances last season, recording 74 tackles, 51 interceptions and 178 clearances, and did so despite Elche not ranking among the division's best defensively.
