Saturday 27 May, 2006
Mirko Vucinic’s knee injury is worse than at first thought, so the Lecce striker will miss out on the World Cup.
The 22-year-old suffered the ligament problem in his left knee during this week’s European Under-21 Championship clash with Germany.
He was named in both the squad for that tournament and the Serbia and Montenegro party travelling to Germany for this summer’s World Cup.
“We will name a replacement in the next few days,” explained Coach Ilija Petkovic. “We’ll call up a player we need, as we have five fit strikers at the moment.”
It’s a heavy blow for Vucinic, who was hoping a good performance in the competition would boost his international profile.
The Lecce hitman is nonetheless still on track to join Roma, although there is also interest from other clubs.
Vucinic excelled last season with 19 top flight goals for the Salentini, but couldn't prevent their relegation this term with just nine in 34 games.
