Experienced Nemanja Mitrovic still battling injury: Damir Krznar hints that the experienced defender will not play again this year

Mitrovic is injured and Uskokovic did not play against Bravo, as he is one of the players with the most minutes played. In the meantime, Šostarič Karič was punished, he missed three games and we wanted him to get back into the rhythm of competition. That’s why Uskokovic didn’t get the chance this time, but that doesn’t mean he won’t get it again in the next match. They are all on an equal footing, and here we will be going through certain rotations,” is for
