In preparation for the new season in the Major League Soccer (MLS), Austin has begun its training. What’s particularly exciting for soccer enthusiasts from Slovenia is the fact that the coach and former U.S. international Josh Wolff also has a player available in training who has been resting since last April. Žan Kolmanič suffered a serious knee injury in a match against Los Angeles FC, requiring surgery. The rest period was expectedly long given the nature of the injury, but the months that Žan Kolmanič had to dedicate to recovery instead of playing football have passed.
It will be interesting to see how quickly the 23-year-old Žan Kolmanič will be ready for the toughest challenges. If he manages to quickly return to the starting eleven, it could also be good news for Slovenian coach Matjaž Kek. Recall that Žan Kolmanič was previously selected by Kek and sat on the bench as a substitute in two matches for the national team.
At this point, we are confident that the former player of Maribor is not currently thinking about the national team or Euro 2024, but solely about how to quickly return to Austin’s starting eleven. He has a contract with Austin until June this year. The left-back has played 60 matches for Austin so far, has not scored as a goal-scorer yet, but has contributed five assists to the statistics.
Feels good to be back. 😌#AustinFC x @StDavidsHC pic.twitter.com/XnhlFPUzdY
