After starting to play regularly again in Italy, he once again caught the attention of the Slovenian national team coach, Matjaž Kek. Domen Črnigoj received a glimmer of hope that participating in Euro 2024 could be a possible scenario for him. However, in the battle for a spot in the Slovenian national team, which is set to compete in the tournament in Germany this summer, the determined Primorje native has now suffered a severe, truly very severe blow.
Domen Črnigoj, playing as a loaned player for Venezia at Reggiana (under the guidance of Alessandro Nesta, he has made 16 appearances in Serie B), injured his thigh muscle in the last match against FeralpiSalo. A detailed medical examination revealed that the injury is far from trivial. The current diagnosis suggests that the winger is expected to rest for about two months. This, of course, means that Domen Črnigoj will miss several games, and consequently, his participation in Euro 2024 is under serious doubt.
The 28-year-old footballer, who has earned 26 caps and scored 3 goals for Slovenia so far, has already returned home. He was also spotted at the Izola hospital, where they will likely monitor his recovery in the coming weeks.
