Title: National Team Duty and Recovery: Persepolis Awaits Key Player’s Return for Capital Derby
In the high-stakes world of Iranian professional football, the fitness of key players is a matter of national interest and club priority. Recent developments concerning Persepolis FC’s foreign star, Marco Bakic, have drawn significant attention ahead of the team’s crucial upcoming fixtures.
Clarifying the Situation
Contrary to circulating reports, Marco Bakic has not yet been ruled out of the upcoming capital derby. The club is actively engaged in efforts to ensure the Montenegrin national team midfielder can recover in time for this pivotal match, scheduled for December 5th. The club’s management is closely monitoring his condition, underscoring the player’s importance to their strategic objectives for the season.
The Road to Recovery
Current medical assessments suggest a potential one-month absence for the player. If this timeline holds, Bakic would miss the Hazfi Cup match against Tractor FC, as well as the eleventh-week league game against Shams Azar. His absence from these matches will test the team’s depth and resilience.
A Player in Professional Care
At present, Bakic is with his national team camp in Montenegro, where his rehabilitation is being supervised by the team’s medical staff. As part of his recovery protocol, he will not feature in Montenegro’s upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Gibraltar and Croatia. This period of focused care under the supervision of national team doctors is a critical step in his journey back to full fitness. The collaboration between the club and the national team reflects a shared commitment to the player’s well-being and professional career.
