EURO 2024 is over for Filip Kostic as far as playing is concerned, because his knee injury is of a more serious nature and he will certainly not return to the pitch for the rest of the championship, Telegraf has learned unofficially.

Kostic, a Juventus player, will undergo more medical examinations during the day, but it is already clear that we will not watch him as the competition in Germany continues, and it will be known for exactly how long he will be absent from playing in general after his MRI scan.

During Serbia's first game in Group C against England, Kostic was hit in the knee while vying for the ball with Trent Alexander Arnold, after which he ended up on the grass.

It turned out that it was a serious injury, and that was evidently clear to Kostic himself, because he teared up when he left the pitch after the medical team came to help him.

It all happened at the end of the first half, Kostic was out in the 43rd minute, when he was replaced by Filip Mladenovic, and that would turn out to be Kostic's only time played during this championship.

There is no doubt that this represents an additional blow for Serbia, because the remaining two games against Slovenia (June 20) and Denmark (June 25) are crucial when it comes to potentially progressing from the group to the round of 16.
