Vlahovic will not be called up to Serbia's national team

Serbia national team head coach Veljko Paunovic reported that Dusan Vlahovic will not be joining the squad, in statements made ahead of the matches against Germany and Greece.

Paunovic said Vlahovic had told him that he has a personal matter he needs to resolve. The head coach noted that it would not be right to speak on the player's behalf and said the question should be directed to Vlahovic himself.

Paunovic said Vlahovic's absence is a loss for the team, but that it is also an opportunity for other players to show their commitment to the national team.

Vlahovic was also left out of the squad during the previous international window due to an injury. The 26-year-old striker, who has played 14 matches for Beşiktaş this season, has scored 9 goals and provided 1 assist.
