The Serbian FA confirmed on Tuesday that Aleksandar Stankovic has withdrawn from the Serbia national team squad after picking up an adductor injury in training on Monday. The Inter midfielder will return to Milan for further treatment with Inter and will not be with the team for its upcoming Nations League matches against Germany and Greece.
Injury details
Stankovic trained with the Serbia squad on Monday and reported pain in his right groin. Medical tests revealed a muscular injury in his right thigh.
Serbia squad changes
Stankovic was one of five Serie A players originally called up to the Serbia squad, along with his brother Filip, Napoli goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, Atalanta midfielder Lazar Samardzic and Milan defender Strahinja Pavlovic.
Pavlovic has also withdrawn from the Serbia national team squad through injury.
Other international withdrawals
Inter players Ange-Yoan Bonny and Marcus Thuram have withdrawn from the Ivory Coast and France national team squads respectively with injury complaints over the last two days.
Bonny is reportedly set to miss around a month’s worth of action.
