While Žiga Laci will be sidelined for at least six months, if not more, due to a knee injury, Timotej Brkić had a bit more luck in misfortune. The young midfielder from Mura also had knee trouble, which occurred in the opening minutes of the last league match against Radomlje. It is true that an MRI revealed that the teenager would need surgery, but the injury is not as severe as that of his club teammate.

If everything goes as expected, Timotej Brkić could actually return to the field within three to four months.
