Key Hajduk Player to Miss Osijek Match Due to Minor Injury

Hajduk Split midfielder Niko Sigur will be sidelined for the team's upcoming match against Osijek due to a minor injury. Coach Gonzalo Garcia has opted to rest the Canadian international, prioritizing his fitness for the crucial second leg of their European qualifier against Raków Czestochowa. The decision underscores the importance of the European competition for the Split club.

Sigur, who can play in defense and midfield, has been a regular fixture for Hajduk this season, featuring in six matches. He played the entire duration of the first leg against Raków, highlighting his significance to the team's strategy. Garcia's decision to omit him from the squad against Osijek is seen as a precautionary measure rather than an indication of a serious long-term issue.

The team will face Osijek with a lineup that includes Silić, Hodak, Gabrić, Van Hoorenbeeck, Melnjak, Del Moral, Pajaziti, Šutalo, Bruti, Huram, and Livaja. Garcia has made several changes to the squad, balancing the need for fresh legs with the demands of the upcoming European fixture.
