. Kazakhstan will be the opponent and Vanja Drkusic will also be a candidate for Astana. But the defensive footballer has had a lot of bad luck these days. Instead of returning home, he was trapped in Russia. But through no fault of their own. Drkusic was stopped by force majeure and was trapped in Sochi due to weather.

Sochi, where Vanja Drkušić has been earning his living since transferring from Bravo, is trapped in a dense fog that has forced them to cancel more than 40 flights! “A severe meteorological situation has arisen in the area of the Sochi airport. Fog prevents flight crews from landing at the airport. Airlines have been forced to postpone flights,” said Sochi Airport.
At the moment, it is not yet known when the 23-year-old defensive midfielder will join the national team, but one possibility is that he will travel from Sochi to Astana instead of Ljubljana and join the squad of selector Matjaz Kek.
