In Thursday’s Conference League group match between Slavia Prague and Kosovo’s FC Ballkani, which home team Praga won 3: 2, Slovakian international forward Ivan Schranz was injured after being hit with a knee in the head.

09:00 – Updated with Jaroslav Tvrdík’s statement.

“It sounded terrifying, but let’s hope it’s nothing more serious. Ivan Schranz looked better than he initially seemed. He still has an exam, I don’t want to scream it, but he shouldn’t be serious.” This was stated by Slavia coach Jindřich Trpišovský after the match.

“But I said the same thing about Koli (goalkeeper Ondřej Kolář) in Rangers and then even worse things were confirmed. It’s terribly hard to predict, the player is always in shock or mood after the game, it can be better or worse. But at the moment it doesn’t seem like anything serious, “he added.

The morning after the game, Slavia boss Jaroslav Tvrdík updated information on Schranz’s health: “Very sad news. Ivan Schranz is hospitalized in neurosurgery ÚVN (Central Military Hospital) with head and cervical spine injuries. Ivan, let’s cross our fingers and we are with you! And for the autumn part, unfortunately, we are losing another key player “.

Schranz is the protagonist of the nomination of the Italian coach Francesco Calzona for the September League of Nations matches against Azerbaijan (22/9) and Belarus (25/9). If Schranz has really finished playing in the autumn, his absence will be evident due to the limited possibilities in Slovakia’s offensive.
