He’s Fine, Don’t Worry About It

Funny thing happened. Apparently, Ivica Olic was browsing through the net and stumbled upon news that he had just tore his knee ligaments and was gonna be sidelined for the next 6 to 9 months.

Yeah I admit, I’d give a few bucks to witness the “Oh S***” expression on Olic’s face at the exact moment. But to cut the silly story short, the doc over at the HSV hospital made a simple (mistake) presumption which found its way to a well known German magazine faster then you can say: Hey, my leg’s all fine and dandy. But all’s well that ends well, and after this little scare we’re all happy that Olic is good to go for Ukraine.

As for Krizanac, well this one unfortunately comedy-free. He broke his toe during a training session and no news on when exactly he’s due to return have been reported. It’s a major blow for Bilic, as Krizanac has been constantly preforming with Zenit over the last couple of seasons, and has been a solid performer for Croatia whenever called upon. Robert Kovac will likely step up to fill the gap, returning from his 3 match ban.
