Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez has assured fans he is feeling fine after an initial concern following a strong challenge in the 2-1 win over Serbia.
The defender has been speaking to M4 Sports, relayed by CSAK Foci, following the win over Serbia in European qualifying.
Goals from Barnabas Varga and Willi Orban within two minutes of each other saw them secure all three points after Attila Szalai had opened the scoring in the 10th minute with an own goal.
The Bournemouth man started the game in a left-wing back position before being subbed off in the 70th minute for Attila Fiola.
The fact he was substituted off in a game his side were winning would suggest there were some concerns from the coach team regarding the injury, but it appears that is not the case.
Kerkez has instead moved to allay any fears and is instead focusing on the positives of not only a big win, but a big moment for him.
“It was a great feeling to play here, I used to go to this stadium to watch matches when I was a child, now I could play here,” he said.
“I’m very happy that we got three points, that’s the most important thing. We came here with a plan, and the captain also said that we are not afraid, we want to win, we have to play aggressively, run and everyone has to give 100% on the pitch, and I think everyone did.
“My knee is a little sore, I got a kick, but I’m fine. There are still four games left, we still have to focus, and we want to win every game and be first in the group.”
