Relief for Maribor: Ažbe Jug came out well; it is not impossible that he will be the first goalkeeper for vijolični in the derby against Celje

On Saturday, the Štajerska derby will take place, and Maribor enters it quite wounded. The Purple and Whites were eliminated from the cup during the week, meaning they are out of the competition where they had the best chances to win some silverware in the year 2024. Against Radomlje, Menno Bergsen stepped into the goal, primarily getting the opportunity due to issues with the number 1. Ažbe Jug had problems with an injury, and the club even sent him for a check-up with magnetic resonance.
But Ažbe Jug apparently had luck in misfortune. It seems that the scare was just a scare, Ante Šimundža, Maribor’s coach, emphasized in the last press conference before heading to the princely city that Ažbe Jug, if all goes well, will be back in the squad. “After the examination, it turned out that, fortunately, the bones and ligaments remained intact,” Maribor stated on the club’s website.
“Ažbe Jug is still questionable, but things are improving. It’s possible that he’ll be among the candidates to play. If possible, that will be the case,” revealed Ante Šimundža, who is not entirely without concerns. The captain Martin Milec has found himself on the sidelines again for several weeks, having suffered an injury – according to Ante Šimundža – “due to a foul in the penalty area“. Also missing from the list are Aleks Pihler and Marin Laušić.
