“Ilic played the match against Juventus and suffered a hamstring injury, so he was left out of the list.” Serbia’s technical commissioner said this at a press conference in recent hours Dragan Stojkovicexplaining how the Torino midfielder will therefore miss the next two matches against Switzerland and Denmark.
Many topics regarding Serie A were covered by the Serbian selector, such as those regarding the Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic and that of Milan Luka Jovic: “Jovic is among the players who will join the team, but due to his previous injury he is doubtful for the next two matches. Having said that, I have to highlight Vlahovic’s return which is a big plus for us.”
So a thought also about the Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic and on his brother, the former Lazio player Sergei: “I have spoken to Sergej three times in the last 15 days. He told me that he has some kind of psychological block, he will not be available for the next period. There is no problem between us, he is simply not psychologically ready to play with the national team. His brother Vanja told me that he was injured, even though he played with Torino. That’s why he wasn’t called up.”
