Dušan Vlahović out injured and will miss Serbia’s upcoming Nations League games
The Beşiktaş striker was ruled out after medical tests following the game against Amedspor; Serbia face Greece, Netherlands and Germany.
Dušan Vlahović will be unavailable for Serbia's next Nations League fixtures after suffering an injury, the national team announced on 22 September 2026 at 14:00.
The striker, who plays for Turkish side Beşiktaş, felt the problem following his latest league appearance against Amedspor. Although he completed all 90 minutes of that match and had been enjoying a strong scoring run, subsequent medical tests determined he must miss international duty.
Squad impact and schedule
Vlahović's absence is a significant setback for head coach Veljko Paunović as Serbia prepare for four upcoming matches in the Nations League. The fixtures pit the Eagles against Greece, the Netherlands and Germany.
Beşiktaş will monitor his recovery while the national team considers alternative attacking options for the string of important games. Paunović will need to adjust his selection and game plans without his in-form forward.
No timeline for Vlahović's return was provided in the initial medical update; both club and national medical teams are expected to release further information as assessments continue.
