UEFA has informed the FCSB that Damian Djokovic is suspended

On Thursday, in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League, FKSHB will play against CSKA 1948 (Sofia), the first match of which will be held in Bulgaria.

However, the team coached by Elias Haralambous received bad news before the match, namely that Damian Djokovic will be suspended for the first match against the Bulgarians.

Transferred from the Reds and Blues this summer, Djokovic was red-carded in his last European match for CFR Cluj.

This happened in the match between Young Boys Bern and FC Cluj 2-1, which was played on December 10, 2020.

He will be entitled to a return match.

“This is the information I received now. Djokovic will have two stages of disqualification, but will expire on July 31, 2023. He will be eligible to play upon his return. However, you can’t do it like Legia did with Celtic in the past. He qualified, he thought he qualified, he actually qualified, but he used a player.

The system will now prevent you from entering a disqualified player. When you bring in a player, you have to check. I clearly knew that Djokovic was disqualified, but I didn’t know how many stages he would have left.” Mihai Stoyka said, reports Orange Sport.

Most likely, Damian Djokovic will be replaced by Malcom Ejuma.
