Filip Kostic’s Euro 2024 campaign got off to the worst possible start as the Juventus winger was forced off with an injury just 40 minutes into Serbia’s opening match against England.
Kostic’s injury occurred in the first half of the match, and he was unable to continue. He was replaced by Filip Malenovic, and the extent of the injury and his recovery time will be assessed in the coming hours.
The injury is a major blow for Kostic and Serbia, as the winger is a key player for both sides. He was hoping to use the tournament to showcase his talents and potentially earn a move away from Juventus.
Kostic’s injury compounded a difficult start to the match for him. He was directly at fault for England’s opening goal, as he allowed Bukayo Saka to get in behind him and cross for Jude Bellingham to score.
The error was reminiscent of some of Kostic’s mistakes for Juventus in the past season, and it will only add to the speculation about his future.
Kostic was already expected to be one of Juventus’s summer departures, and the injury could further hasten his exit. There are reports of interest from clubs in Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
