While Ishaq Rafiu‘s whereabouts are still unknown, Etienne Beugre, the winter reinforcement of Maribor, has at least been able to move to Slovenia. All the documentation has been arranged, and the Football Association of Slovenia has already given the green light for the young forward to play in the Prva liga Telemach. However, Etienne Beugre will apparently have to wait for the moment to secure a place in Maribor’s starting eleven. Coach Ante Šimundža has, in fact, given him a – red light.
“He only arrived last Friday and undoubtedly is not at the level of physical fitness to start a game. Perhaps he will be in the squad,” Ante Šimundža said regarding the player from the Ivory Coast for the match against Domžale, for the club’s website.
Ante Šimundža: “They will come for points”
The coach of the purple team faces several personnel issues before the match with the yellow family: “Uskoković will not be ready to play; a hamstring injury will require a longer break. Strajnar is getting closer to returning to the competitive rhythm. Unfortunately, Žinič still has minor injury problems, but I can mention the encouraging news that Lorber has joined the training and is already practicing with the team.”
It is expected that the young defender Luka Poredoš will also be in the squad for Domžale, who was not in the Maribor team on Friday, which drew in Eon NextGen Youth League away in Koper.
Regarding the clash with Dušan Kosić‘s team, Ante Šimundža added: “Domžale is a dynamic team, with visible principles, a recognizable way of playing in both defensive and offensive phases. A method that is somewhat specific, and we are preparing in that direction. They are a team that can cause problems for any opponent, especially if you enter the match with inadequate enthusiasm. Just as we have pluses and minuses, they also have theirs. I expect them to come for points at Ljudski vrt, but we know what the game means for us and how to prepare properly.”
