STATEMENT FROM SERBIA ON VLAHOVIC

Serbia National Team Head Coach Veljko Paunovic announced that Dusan Vlahovic will not be in the national team due to a personal matter. In his statement, Paunovic said, "He told me he has a personal situation he needs to handle. That's all I can say; it wouldn't be right for me to speak on his behalf. You should ask him whether he is ready to answer. This is a loss for us, but it is an opportunity for other players to show their preparation, loyalty, and commitment to the national team." 

HE HAD NOT GONE BEFORE EITHER

Dusan Vlahovic was also not in the Serbia National Team squad during the previous national match period due to injury.

BEŞİKTAŞ PERFORMANCE
