What is happening with the Serbian national team? Four key players have already withdrawn from the first two Nations League matches.
Dušan Vlahović was the first to decline the invitation from Serbia's coach Dragan Stojković, citing family obligations during the Nations League matches against Spain and Denmark. Following this, both Sergej Milinković-Savić and Aleksandar Mitrović, who play in Saudi Arabia, also declined their invitations due to injury issues.
After the refusals of these three key players, people in Serbia began to wonder what is going on and whether the rumored boycott by some players, which had been discussed during and after the European Championship in Germany, is actually happening.
Coach Dragan Stojković explained yesterday that he understands the reasons for the players' absences.
However, today, the Serbian coach received another refusal. Despite Serbia playing against the reigning European champions, Luka Jović will also be absent! The AC Milan striker is reportedly injured.
