Maribor
played their first match of 2023 on Wednesday. They played against Alumini in Ljudski vrt and beat them 2:0 after goals by Josip Iličić and Žan Vipotnik. Ishaq Rafiu was unavailable for the coach Damir KrznarThe Nigerian, who is still looking for his place under the Slovenian football sun after moving to Slovenia, was injured a few days before the match. The attacker felt pain in the muscle, but closer medical examinations revealed that the injury was not serious.
Ishaq Rafiu will be able to travel with his team to Turkey, where Maribor will move on Saturday. “There will be no longer break, Ishaq Rafiu will be able to train again in 5, 6 days with full load and will be on the road with us,” Krznar revealed and also touched upon the situation Sven Šošštarič Karič, who was also injured.Sven is already in high working gear. It would be premature for him to play in the first game, but he will get his chance in the next one.”
The day after arrival, the first match
The expert from neighbouring Croatia also outlined the work plan for the next few days.The postponement of the match against Aluminium from Tuesday to Wednesday did not have a significant impact on the work plan. Thursday is a free day, Friday is our last training session at home, and on Saturday we travel to Turkey, where we will play our first match against Cukaricki on Sunday. Then there are three more matches against tough opponents, which will be very useful and will bring different answers. We may organise an extra one to give as many minutes as possible to all participants in the preparations. We will give all players a chance in the first test, and then we will step up the plan and increase the minutes per game.“
