Azerbaijan's biggest football derby between Karabagh and Nefchi brought the eighth victory (4:0) in a row for the current champion, but finally good news for Montenegro before the resumption of the League of Nations in October.
Two "Falcon" midfielders, Marko Jankovic i Edwin Kuch, they recorded the first minutes after skipping several games at the start of the new season.
Janković did not play much for Qarabag, he entered in the 84th minute, but the most important thing is that he recovered and played for the first time since August 13, when he was injured in the Champions League qualifier against Ludogorets.
On the other hand, Kuč was injured in the Nefči jersey before the start of the League of Nations in early September, which is why, just like Janković, he could not help our national team against Iceland and Wales.
Unlike his rival in the Azerbaijan derby, Kuc played almost the entire match, as he left the game in the 87th minute.
And while the tandem from the middle of the field can make the coach happy Robert Prosinecki ahead of the matches against Turkey on October 11 and Wales three days later, what remains a concern is the situation Marko Vešović, another Karabagh player.
Our defender was injured in the same match as Janković, so even though Karabagh announced that his absence would be shorter, everything dragged on, so Vešović from Ludogorets did not play a single match.
One of the most experienced and best players of Montenegro was with the "falcons" during the first actions in the League of Nations, but he did not play, while after his return to Azerbaijan he was not even included in the protocol for the matches of Karabakh.
Some media from that country write that he renewed his injury before the match with Nefči.
Apart from those three, Prosinečki could not count on the old League of Nations Stefan Savić, Igor Vujačić i Vasilija Adžić, while Marko Bakic skipped Iceland and played against Wales.
After a new injury (back box), Savić will not be there even during the October actions, and his partner in the stopper position, Vujačić, has not yet recovered from the injury.
In a sea of injuries, the return of Janković, a guy who has been a key player for the Falcons in the middle in recent years, as well as Kuč, are certainly great news for Montenegro, which will look for the first points in the Nations League against Turkey in Samsun and Wales in Cardiff.
