Fulham’s Saša Lukić has suffered an injury blow while on international duty with Serbia.

At the weekend, the 28-year-old started in his national team’s 2-0 win over Switzerland. He was replaced in the 53rd minute by CSKA Moscow’s Saša Zdjelar.

The Serbian football association have taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to confirm the Fulham player’s setback.

It’s claimed the midfielder was replaced in the last tie, after suffering a blow to his ‘right acromioclavicular joint’.

The national team have revealed that he underwent ‘detailed medical examinations’ and results have shown he won’t be in contention to face Spain on Tuesday.

The Serbian FA have further stated the former Torino man will return to London and will undergo treatment with the Premier League side.

Zdjelar, who assisted Aleksandar Mitrović’s goal against Switzerland, could replace the Fulham midfielder against La Roja tomorrow.

Marco Silva has mainly used Lukić as a defensive midfielder and started him in all seven Premier League games this season. Fulham will take on Aston Villa on Saturday and the Serbian may be doubtful for this clash.
