Last night, Young Boys, Red Bull Salzburg, and Sparta Prague secured their spots in the Champions League, and tonight Crvena zvezda will aim to do the same. At Marakana, they will be looking to overcome a deficit from the first leg against the Norwegian club Bodo/Glimt. Timi Max Elšnik is almost certain to occupy a position in the midfield for the Serbian giant, while Vanja Drkušić will once again have to settle for a place on the bench.
The Slovenian international acknowledges that joining Crvena zvezda has fulfilled a childhood dream, but a long break after the end of Euro 2024 has left its mark. “We’ll see how he is, but we don’t intend to take any risks. We expect him to be fully ready after the national team break. He had a longer break, didn’t train with the team because he was waiting for the transfer, which is part of football, but Vanja is a great professional and if he has to play, I’m sure he will give his all,” said Crvena zvezda coach Vladan Milojević to 24ur.
Vanja Drkušić, who this summer first left Sochi to sign for Zenit and then joined Crvena zvezda on loan, added to the mentioned media: “I want to play in this match, but I have to be realistic. I haven’t had proper training with the team for a month and a half, no matches. I feel some lack, but I feel physically very good. I think I will need some time to get back into the rhythm of training and matches, but with the support of my teammates and the coach, it will be much easier for me.” The match in Belgrade will kick off at 9:00 PM.
