Jan Mlakar is having a tough time. On Wednesday, he made his first start of the new season for Pisa, but his cup match against Cesena ended just after 23 minutes for him. As if that wasn’t enough, Pisa ultimately lost 0:1 and got eliminated. The match also saw young Slovenian international Žan Jevšenak starting for the home side and staying on the pitch for over an hour.
Filippo Inzaghi, the coach of Pisa, didn’t substitute Mlakar because he was unhappy with him. He had no choice; Jan Mlakar got injured. The Slovenian international is dealing with a muscle issue, but it is still unclear how serious the problem is. However, with October approaching and the next squad announcement by coach Matjaž Kek, this news is definitely not encouraging…
Jan Mlakar is not the only Slovenian international currently facing health issues. At Maribor, they are dealing with Josip Iličić‘s painful back, while Vanja Drkušić, a defender for Crvena zvezda, and David Brekalo, who plays for Orlando City in the United States, are also sidelined at the moment.
