Matevž Vidovšek didn’t take it well, but not the worst: Olimpija goalkeeper undergoes minor surgery, could be back before the end of the year
In the last few days, news of the Olimpija goalkeeper’s health has been dripping into the public domain. Some suggested that Matevž Vidovšek will rest for at least half a year, others that the injury is not that serious. Now, according to our information, there are actually no doubts anymore. Matevž Vidovšek undergoes an MRI scan. The first opinion was that the injury was not of a serious nature, that Korošec had only received an extremely strong and painful blow to the shoulder area. Matevž Vidovšek sought a second medical opinion, which gave a less favourable diagnosis. The fact is that the national goalkeeper did not take it well, but he did not take the worst of it either.
As we have learned, the tall-headed net warden will have to undergo a minor surgical procedure, which will be more of a preventive nature. Surgery in the classical sense will not be necessary, but the fact that he will still go under the knife means that his recovery time will be a little longer. According to current estimates, Matevž Vidovšek should rest for a month and a half, possibly two months. In the meantime, he is expected to recover to the point where he can return to the greens.
Ideally, the Dragons’ goalie could still catch the end of the first part of the 2023/24 season, but it’s probably still more reasonable to think that we’ll see him in goal again in 2024. Needless to say, this is a big blow for Olimpija in any case. Matevž Vidovšek has been irreplaceable in the Green-White goal so far, but now he will have to fill the gap Denis Pintol, who has played 11 games since his transfer to Ljubljana and has kept the net intact twice.
