Today, the national football team of Montenegro started preparations for the last two matches in the B League of Nations.
The first rival of the "brave falcons" is Iceland on November 16 in Nikšić, three days later Turkey is visiting at the same stadium.
But, for that second game to be important for our selection, it is necessary to beat Iceland - only then would they remain in the game for the third place in the group, which means a playoff and a chance to survive in league B.
Problems are present again - there is no Stefan Savić, Marko Vešović, Vasilij Adžić, but neither is Slobodan Rubežić.
The Aberdeen defender played the entire match against Dundee in the Scottish Championship on Saturday, but is reportedly not 100% fit.
"Rubežić is in some pain. He played a game on Saturday, but after that he is going to have an injection, after which he is not allowed to play for 15 days. As for that part - you need to ask him, he simply canceled and will not be there," he said. selector Robert Prosinečki.
Ilija Vukotić, Boavista's midfielder, is also gone.
"Ilija is certainly on the wider list, but Stefan Lončar played well in the last few games and we want to see him in action. Of course, Vukotić will be on the list whoever is here, but at the moment we are thinking about something else," he pointed out. December.
Stevan Jovetić is not playing against Iceland due to a card.
"I spoke with him and the most important thing is that he is not hurt," added Prosinečki.
Everything depends on the duel with Iceland...
"It's not a pleasant situation at all, because we have four defeats behind us. We have two very important games ahead of us. We believe that Iceland can win so that we don't get relegated and then wait for the last round. Turkey is an excellent national team, the favorite of the group like us and announced. At this moment, the most important thing is Iceland. We want to play well, I believe with the great support of the audience in Nikšić.
Montenegro must be better than it was in the previous four games.
"I hope we will be good, there are still players who play for their clubs. What is certain is that everyone who plays must give their best, but we can certainly play against Iceland. We showed that in the away games when we received two goals from stoppage time," said Prosinečki and concluded:
"We had a lot of problems throughout the Nations League. Some key players could not play. What to do - it is what it is. We will not cry for Savić and the others who are not there at the moment, we have to turn to what we have and give the maximum," concluded Prosinečki.
