TEAM NEWS

Vladimir Stojkovic, Lazar Pavlovic, Milan Smiljanic and Lazar Markovic are all Covid-19 positive and sidelined as a result. Jean-Cristophe Bahebeck picked up a training session injury prior to Macva game and is estimated to be sidelined for at least two months. Seydouba Soumah (eye injury) is still on the road of recovery.

Partizan boss Aleksandar Stanojevic ahead of Spartak away:

-It`s a specific situation regarding Covid-19, you never know what might struck you. We are adapting to it, we have a big roster and we`ll work with those available.

Spartak is among top sides in the league for some time now. They like playing attacking game with lots of players involved in finishing. They look good so I expect good and interesting match.

We are good in the flanks department with different type of players available, including Lutovac. Lots of crosses are coming in but we lack a bit of quality there as well as attacking reaction to those crosses in the box. But, it`s good we keep getting crosses and I`m pleased with flank player`s quality we have.
