Although Maribor announced at the beginning of the month that captain Martin Milec would rest for several months due to an injury sustained in the cup match against Radomlje, Ante Šimundža, the coach of the purple team, has now revealed that the captain has actually returned to action. But that’s not the only good news for all Maribor fans: the long-injured Gregor Sikošek is also training with the team, having been sidelined for over a year.
“Regarding personnel news, I can say that Milec and Sikošek are already training with the team, and Jug is getting closer to his return and is already with the team on the pitch. Uskoković is also on the pitch a week or two earlier than expected. Mitrović is also progressing well, and we are heading into the remainder of the season with the promising realization that the squad is being complemented,” Ante Šimundža told the club’s website ahead of Friday’s league match against Radomlje.
Despite everything, Maribor will face the millers weakened, as important members of the starting eleven, Hillal Soudani and Blaž Vrhovec, will be absent due to suspensions. “It is very important that we have more solutions for who will replace them. That’s the positive competition I want. I hope that the players who get the chance can respond adequately to the demands, as they have already succeeded in doing so,” added Ante Šimundža ahead of the match, which will be the first of four played before empty stands.
