Matjaž Kek receives good news before the start of the qualifiers: midfielder Dejan Petrovic plays his first game after a serious injury
22 May 2022 was a day Dejan Petrovic will never forget. Needless to say, he will not keep it in his memory. Then, at training
Rapida
was seriously injured. He tore ligaments in his knee and many things fell into the water. Also a high-profile transfer, which made him smile. Dejan Petrovic has been targeted by both French club Toulouse and Scottish giants Rangers Glasgow at the end of the 2021/22 season. It was immediately clear that instead of moving, he was facing a long recovery. And the recovery was very long indeed. After that fateful 22. May has not played a single match in the last year. Surgery, therapies, rehabilitation, the painstaking process of getting back on track – this, not the matches and the transfers, was his reality.
Now Dejan Petrovic has finally healed his injury and is back on the pitch after eight long months. It happened in Belek, Turkey, where Rapid (currently led from the bench as a temporary solution by sporting director Igor Barišić, former ly coach of Olimpija) played against Slask from Poland in a friendly match. The Wroclaw club won 3:2 and Dejan Petrovic played the whole second half, confirming that the injury is finally a thing of the past.
The return of the 25-year-old former Aluminija player is also good news for Matjaz Keke. Selector
of the Slovenian national team
will be able to count on a player who has been part of the national team in the past. He has played two games for Slovenia and if he returns to the level he has been on the club scene, it is not unlikely that he will knock on Keke’s door again sooner or later.
