Beltinci recently announced a significant change on the coaching bench. Due to communication disagreements, the Prekmurje second-division team surprised everyone with the news that Damjan Gajser, who had been doing an excellent job, was leaving. At least in terms of results… The first match after his departure was led by the former assistant coach Blaž Krauthaker, who took his players to Dekani, where he had to admit defeat to the Primorci, as Alen Ščulac’s team won the match 2-0. However, the change on the bench and the defeat were not the only unpleasant news for the fans of the Beltinci club.
In the match against Tolmin, during one of the plays, Niko Kasalo, a loaned player from Mura, who is also one of the bigger talents the black-and-whites from Murska Sobota are counting on, fell to the ground for a moment. The 18-year-old felt pain in his right knee and was forced to leave the field after a while, as the impact was evidently too severe for him to continue the match.
As the initial diagnosis revealed, the teenager from Lipa may need to rest for more than six months! According to reports from Ekipe, Niko Kasalo has suffered a partial rupture of the cruciate ligament and has also damaged his meniscus. The severity of the injury will only be clear after the striker undergoes surgery.
In any case, this is a significant blow for both Beltinci and, to a considerable extent, for Mura. The Žuti will undoubtedly miss Niko Kasalo, as he has been one of the more important players for the Prekmurje second-division team this season.
