Ljubijankic fit for Slovenia

Slovenia striker Zlatan Ljubijankic has been declared fit for his side's World Cup opener against Algeria.

The 26-year-old was a minor concern with an ankle knock but he has been given the go-ahead to play against the North Africans on 13th June.

Manager Matjaz Kek was pleased to reveal the frontman will be back, and the boost has put him in good spirits ahead of the tournament.


"I am happy that the injury to Zlatan Ljubijankic is not a serious one and he will be fit for the opening game against the Algerians," he said.

"There is room for progress in several departments, especially when we don't have the upper hand, but overall I am satisfied with our build-up for the World Cup."

Slovenia have been drawn in Group C and will also face games against England and the United States.
