Ante Šimundža had to watch the match from the stands, while Josip Iličić was forced off the field. However, while Ante Šimundža will soon return to his position on the bench for Maribor, the immediate future of Josip Iličić remains uncertain. The star of the violets ended the match in Bačka Topola in the first half due to an injury. The extent of the injury is still unclear, but in Ljudski vrt, they hope and believe that Josip Iličić will be absent for only a short time.
“It’s an ankle sprain, a common injury when the foot gets caught in the grass as in his case. I believe and hope that the medical team will do everything for a quick return,” explained Ante Šimundža after the victory over Vojvodina. The exact nature of the injury is still unknown, with more information likely to come after further examinations.
In any case, the veteran will certainly miss Sunday’s match against Radomlje. Whether he will also miss the first leg of the final round of European qualifiers against the Swedish club Djurgardens remains to be seen. Ante Šimundža will undoubtedly be much more satisfied if he can count on him. Everyone knows what Josip Iličić means to Maribor…
