Barely arrived, and already sidelined. Antonio Marin, who shone in the match for Olimpija against Radomlje last weekend, scoring twice, suffered an injury in Domžale! And it’s a serious one. The Croatian, who came from Dinamo Zagreb, will actually be sidelined for several months due to knee problems!
“In the final seconds of Monday’s training on the auxiliary field in Stožice, Antonio Marin felt strong pain in his right knee. The loud cry of the two-goal scorer in Saturday’s match against Radomlje immediately raised concerns in the Dragon’s camp. Numerous examinations, which the 23-year-old winter newcomer underwent under the watchful eye of the club’s medical staff in the following hours, confirmed the worst,” Olimpija stated on their club website.
Ljubljana’s club added: “Antonio Marin has a torn anterior cruciate ligament. In the world of football, such an injury represents a prolonged absence from the pitch, and the rehabilitation over several months will require immense patience. The date for the necessary surgery has not been confirmed yet, but it is a fact that NK Olimpija will firmly stand by the player during this challenging period, providing him with all the necessary support on his journey back to competitive play.“
