The month of November is just around the corner, bringing with it the last national team break of 2024. The senior national team will conclude its participation in the Nations League, while the U21 national team will take advantage of the upcoming window to play at least one friendly match after qualifying for the U21 Euro. Milenko Aćimović is expected to lead his charges against Montenegro (the match has not been officially confirmed yet), but there are growing rumors that the Slovenian coach will use the upcoming gathering to offer opportunities to players who did not play key roles in the qualifiers. One of those who could be included is evidently Matej Malenšek.
Milenko Aćimović watched the match between Radomlje and Celje live in Domžale last weekend, and he saw quite a lot. His key asset Svit Sešlar performed excellently, but some players from the home club also caught his attention. Matej Malenšek did not score this time, but he again played a good match and contributed to the surprising victory of the millers with a score of 4:2. According to our information, Milenko Aćimović is seriously considering calling up the 19-year-old born in Croatia and raised in Slovenia, who has previously played for the Slovenian youth national team.

Moreover, according to rumors that are increasingly circulating in the Slovenian football scene, Rok Ljutić, a 21-year-old defender who has previously played for the youth national team, is also a candidate for an opportunity in the U21 national team. At the beginning of the season, Rok Ljutić did not play much, but recently he has become a regular in his club’s starting eleven and played from start to finish in the last four matches, during which Radomlje defeated Nafta, Primorje, Domžale, and Celje.
