Jasmin Kurtić will seemingly spend more time off the pitch than on it during the month of October. Much will depend on the plans of Slovenia’s national team coach Matjaž Kek, but it’s already clear that even after the international break, Kurtić will have additional time to rest. In Italy, he has been sidelined following a red card he received in his last match before returning to Slovenia.
The midfielder for Südtirol lost his temper last weekend during an away match against Cosenza, allegedly protesting too vehemently against the referee’s decision toward the end of the first half. The referee immediately sent him off the field. Since his dismissal was due to protesting, many were curious about how long he would be suspended. Now, the verdict is in, and fortunately for Kurtić, the punishment is not too severe.
The 35-year-old midfielder, who will travel to Oslo today with his national teammates, will have to serve a two-match ban for his actions in the Serie B match. This means he will miss the games against Pisa—the club of Jan Mlakar and Žan Jevšenak—as well as against Catanzaro, where Luka Krajnc recently transferred from Maribor.
