JAKARTA - Serbian national team coach Dragan Stijkovic is optimistic about the condition of Dusan Vlahovic and Aleksandar Mitrovic. Both are believed to recover from injury in due course.
Stojkovic said it was working on the recovery of the two players. "I'm sure they (Vlahovic and Mitrovic) will be ready and we've been working in that direction (probing a fit condition)," Stojkovic was quoted as saying by AFP on Tuesday, November 15.
Vlahovic and Mitrovic are on 26 lists of Serbian national team players announced Friday, November 11. This decision was questioned because the condition of the two was not 100 percent.
In fact, there is a high possibility that both of them will miss the opening match against Brazil on November 24.
Stojkovic admits he will find a solution if things don't go according to plan. "I hope everything will go well and if not, we will find a solution, that's why I'm here," he said.
"No coach likes to see his players not playing. After all, they have left their clubs for a while," he explained.
Vlahovic is known to have been absent from Juventus since late last October. He picked up an injury when the Old Lady lost 3-4 to Benfica who also sent the team out of the Champions League.
Meanwhile, Mitrovic, the Fulham striker, suffered a leg injury during the Nations League match against Switzerland. In fact, his performance in the English Premier League is good.
