“The health of the players is good. We have two players with whom we work systematically. Marek Hamšík has long had problems, his condition is slowly improving, now we have entered a more active treatment. I guess if he goes to training now, it’ll be even better. At Schranz, the injury was restored and we performed examinations that confirmed muscle damage.
However, this is not essential. We will do everything to prepare him for a match. It’s the back thigh muscle, there is no serious finding, but there is damage – a slight tearing of the muscle mass, “ revealed before departure the doctor of the Slovak national football team Ján Baťalík in the video on the website of the Slovak Football Association (SFZ).
