Brdo pri Kranju is the venue for the Slovenian national team, which will face the opening match of the Euro 2024 qualifiers on Thursday. The opponent will be Kazakhstan, and selector Matjaž Kek has some personnel problems before leaving for Astana. Forward Andraž Šporar is already out for Kazakhstan with a diaphragm injury and is also doubtful for Sunday’s home game against San Marino. Injury also sidelined David Brekal, defenceman of the Norwegian
Vikings
, for whom Matjaž Kek has already called up a new defender.
Žan Zaletel, a former Celje defender who earns his living in Denmark with Viborg, has joined the national team. Zaletel has played regularly for the national youth team in the past, but has not yet made his debut for the national team.
Matjaž Kek is also inconvenienced by Vanja Drkušić. The defender of Russian top-league team Sochi was called up to the Slovenian national team for the first time in his career, but he was not there for the gathering. The defender has encountered difficulties in his return to Slovenia, so the Football Association of Slovenia expects him to join the national team in Astana.
