The standard member of the first line up will also miss the Tuesday’s match in Stožice against Cyprus. “Due to my injury, I won’t be able to help the national team in this cycle, however, I will be the loudest person in the stands. Good luck, boys! Good luck, Slovenia!” wrote the 24-year-old winger on Twitter.

The performance of the Kiev Dinamo member was questionable up until Monday’s arrival at Brdo pri Kranju, because he had to train according to a special program due to the injury of the thigh muscle.

Even before that, the coach Tomaž Kavčič and the national team was left without Kevin Kampl, who got ill and without the injured Jasmin Kurtić and Tim Matavž, while goalkeeper Jan Oblak announced his return in March, when the qualifications for the European Championship start.

Luka Zahović also has some problems with his muscle, but nevertheless, he flew to Norway with the rest of the team.
