Strahinja Pavlovic is not among the thirteen Rossoneri players involved with their respective national teams. The Serbian missed the Europa League match against Ferencvaros and also the latest league match away at Genoa.
Serbia national team coach Veljko Paunovic provided an update:
"Pavlovic is under observation because of a kidney problem. We have spoken, he needs to undergo some tests, and he could also join up with the squad.”
The chances, however, are rather low: "He confirmed to me that he will hardly be able to answer the call-up," as relayed via La Gazzetta dello Sport in this morning's print edition.
This was Paunovic's response to those asking about the physical condition of the Rossoneri centre-back.
"For this reason, we have called up Krpic from Gyor, who will have the opportunity to show what he can do."
In any case, Pavlovic should return to Milan's disposal when the league resumes, in the home match against Frosinone.
