Aleksandar Stanković Ruled Out of Serbia’s Upcoming Nations League Matches With Injury

Serbia have lost another player ahead of two demanding Nations League fixtures: Aleksandar Stanković is set to miss the matches after suffering a muscle injury during training, according to the Serbian Football Association. The Inter Milan footballer felt pain in the area of his right groin during Monday’s session. Further examination identified an injury to the adductor muscle in his right thigh, the association said. Stanković will return to Inter to continue his recovery, following discussions between the club and the national team’s coaching staff. The Football Association confirmed the plan in a statement posted on its official Instagram account. No specific timetable for his return has been given. His recovery and eventual return to the pitch will depend on how his rehabilitation progresses in Italy, the report said. His absence adds to Serbia’s injury concerns before the upcoming fixtures. The news follows Filip Kostić’s injury, with Stanković now also unavailable for the national team’s matches.
