Dusan Vlahovic missed Juventus’ final games ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup as the bianconeri continued their winning streak.
Injury did not prevent him from joining his country for the World Cup, but he was unable to start in either of his first two games because he was not fit enough.
Serbia have just one point from their games against Brazil and Cameroon and they hope the striker is fit to start their final group game against Switzerland.
Speaking before the game, the coach of his national team, Dragan Stojkovic, reveals that the striker is now in better shape.
He said via Football Italia:
“Vlahovic is ready to play and is in incomparably better condition than when we first arrived in Doha.”
Juve FC says
Vlahovic was an important player for Serbia during the qualifiers for this World Cup, so it’s been sad that he can’t play for them from the start yet.
However, if he is fit for their last group game, we expect him to play a big role for them and probably score the goals to keep them in the competition.
We also need him back to full fitness before he returns from Qatar because his goals will be key to helping us keep winning games.
