On the eve of the Serbian national team's squad for the match against Albania, coach Dragan Stojkovic has sparked debate in the country's sports community with the decision to leave out two well-known names: goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, a starter for Torino in Serie A, and his brother, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, a midfielder currently active in the Arab championship with Al Hilal.
The goalkeeper has played 19 games as a starter, starting in 2021, while for the last time, he was called up to last year's European Championship. Meanwhile, the other brother, the midfielder, has been a key point in the Serbian team in recent years, recording 54 appearances and 9 goals in total.
The absence of Savic, who has been a key part of the Serbian squad for many years, has caused strong reactions on social media, with fans seeking explanations for a decision that seems more motivated by non-sporting reasons.
He has played in 46 games in Saudi Arabia this season, scoring 16 goals and providing 8 assists, but is still not on the list. The last time was at EURO 2024.
