In the more than a year since he last graced the fields, Gregor Sikošek has experienced a lot. Among other things, he fought for his life, and for his leg, after complications arose following knee surgery. At one point, the prospects of his return to the football field were not exactly promising. However, the Maribor full-back has “overcome all demons,” won the toughest battle of his career and life, and is once again enjoying football.
This season, Gregor Sikošek is a key player for Maribor, having already recorded an assist against Brav. In the upcoming Sunday evening match against Mura, he will be looking to primarily enjoy the game. After what he has been through, this sentiment is even more significant for him.
Gregor Sikošek: “I always believed everything would be okay”
“I feel good; I have no issues with my leg and no pain. The more minutes you play, the more confident you become in the game, which is quite understandable. Over time, I will raise my form, and I hope to get back to the level I was at before. First, I need to physically return to the desired fitness level, and then the confidence and cohesion will follow,” Sikošek told the club’s website.
The 30-year-old former player of Brežice, Krško, Koper, Brøndby, Silkeborg, and Domžale continued: “Physically, I am in good condition. The difference is only in appearance; functionally, the leg is like a new one. Before returning, I heard many different stories. But I always believed that everything would be okay once I was back on the field. It’s a relief that my return has worked out in the best possible way. When I think of everything I had to go through on this journey, I’m even happier to be back and even more motivated to help the team when given the chance.”
