Born in Linz, Xaver Schlager rose through Red Bull Salzburg's academy and was part of the side that reached the 2018 Europa League semi-final, before moving to VfL Wolfsburg and then RB Leipzig in 2022. A combative, ball-winning central midfielder, he helped Leipzig win the DFB-Pokal and Supercup in 2023. An ACL tear cost him Euro 2024, but he returned as a midfield engine for Austria.
- Despite the shared surname, he is unrelated to goalkeeper Alexander Schlager
- An ACL injury ruled him out of Euro 2024
- Named to the 2022-23 kicker Bundesliga Team of the Season
