  • Serious injury for Jelenković

Veljko Jelenković suffered a serious right knee injury in the match against Bravo. Medical examinations confirmed a torn anterior cruciate ligament, which means his season in this calendar year is already over. He will undergo surgery soon, followed by a lengthy recovery, during which the club will provide him with all the support he needs.

“Thank you all for the encouraging messages and kind wishes these days. It really means a lot to me. Injuries are part of sport, so I believe this experience will only make me stronger and better. I wish my teammates the best of luck in the months ahead,” said Jelenković.

We wish the 22-year-old centre-back, who made 33 appearances in all competitions in his debut green-and-white season, a successful and as speedy a recovery as possible! Stay strong, Veljko!
