Hillal Soudani may be getting older, but he has repeatedly proven in the past that Maribor can rely on him. However, at the moment, coach Ante Šimundža cannot count on him. Soudani, who will celebrate his 37th birthday in November, has been sidelined since August 18th, when he injured his thigh muscle in a match against Radomlje. Despite nearly a month passing, Soudani is still not ready to return to the field, and it will be some time before he is.
As revealed by Mirzet Sprečo, Maribor’s physiotherapist, Soudani has only just completed the first phase of recovery. He will begin working with the fitness coach next week, and if everything goes according to plan, he might start training on the field in about two weeks. The expectation in Maribor is that the former Dinamo Zagreb player could fully return to action in about four weeks.
Soudani is not the only one
This means Maribor will have to play all the remaining September matches without him. This month, the Violet team will face Koper, Celje, Nafta, and Domžale. Following the home match against Koper, Maribor will have three consecutive away games within just over 10 days.
Additionally, captain Martin Milec is also out of action, and the newcomer Benjamin Tetteh is still training individually, meaning Ante Šimundža will not be able to count on him for the next few matches either.
