Partizan start with preparations, but in a colorful lineup. Coach Bojan Butulija has no defined lineup yet.
Compared to the previous team, he lost five players in the summer crawl. Goalkeeper Aleksandar Milenkovic and winger Pavle Banduk are new reinforcements in Novi Pazar, left back Darko Stevanovic has gone to the Hungarian Balatonfired in the same direction, at least when it comes to the country, right-back Nikola Ivanovic (FTC) and pivotman Vuk Milenkovic ( Dabas).
For now, it is uncertain whether Captain Milomir Radovanovic will stay in Humska, as will Mladen Sotic wing.
At the same time, there is a possibility that former captain Nemanja Zivkovic will once again wear a black and white jersey after a season spent in Nis.
– I cannot say with certainty what composition we will start with, because it is only in the coming days that we need to define it. I would not prejudge any of these things. As already known, five players left. Unfortunately, Nikola Grubic, it turns out, has a groin injury that requires rest, so he will not go through with us. Left back Nikola Jovanovic, who spent part of the season on loan at Kostolac, injured his knee in the championship round. It turns out that the ligaments are involved and that he has to undergo surgery … – says black and white coach Bojan Butuli.
Several players will join from another team as well, and what’s your plan?
– We had an invitation to participate in the tournament in Struga, but we did not accept it because it is barely two weeks from the beginning of our preparations, and strong teams play and I cannot risk anyone getting injured, so, traditionally, we will be in the Kanjiža tournament beginning August 23 – Butulia points out.
