The idyll that followed the breakthrough at Euro 2024 was interrupted by sharp pain. Pain felt by Jaka Bijol in the midst of the match against Roma, yet he persisted on the field at Olimpico for the full 90 minutes. However, after the match concluded, with Udinese losing 1-3, it became clear that Jaka Bijol was facing issues. According to Italian reports, the Carinthian defender injured his foot. For now, it’s still unknown how much time he’ll need to rest, but he’s expected to receive the results and diagnosis today.
In the worst-case scenario, Jaka Bijol could be done with football for the year, as hinted on the Apennine peninsula, suggesting he might spend up to 30 days on the sidelines. The pillar of the Slovenian national team, upon return from the Eternal City, hasn’t trained with teammates, instead donning sports footwear and following a specialized program.
If Jaka Bijol indeed remains out of action until the year’s end, it’ll undoubtedly be bad news for Udinese. The former member of CSKA Moscow has been one of the standout performers for the black and white this season, despite things not going entirely as planned. Udinese has managed to win only once in 13 matches, and it seems they’re in for a fierce battle to secure their place among the top teams come spring.
