While Olimpija is today playing the city derby against Bravo, Maribor will use Saturday to refine the final details before their home match against the wounded Koper. Coach Ante Šimundža spoke about the player roster he will have available, and fans are particularly interested in whether the first goalkeeper, Ažbe Jug, will be ready to play or not.
Ažbe Jug has had some issues with his knee in recent days, which even required him to undergo a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. The scan revealed that the injury is not severe, but Ažbe Jug is still in a race against time. Ante Šimundža revealed that it is not yet entirely certain whether the Styrian goalkeeper will be able to play. If he cannot, Menno Bergsen will get another chance.
“The attendance at training is larger, with 25 players now fully involved in the process. There is a lot of individual work and various activities. The preparations are going according to plan, and Ažbe has joined the team. We still have Saturday’s training session and the final part of the preparations, and then we will wait to see if he will be ready to play. However, we will not rush his return, as health comes first. If Jug cannot play, Bergsen will be in goal,” Ante Šimundža told the club’s website.
