Nemanja Matic Withdraws From Serbia Squad After Failing to Complete Wolves Game

Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic has been ruled out of international duty this month after withdrawing from the Serbia squad with what appears to be a fitness problem related to his recent injury absence at club level.

As national team vice-captain, Matic had initially been called up by Serbia for the friendly against Germany and Euro 2020 qualifier against Portugal over the coming days.

But the 30-year-old, who missed games against Liverpool, Crystal Palace, Southampton and Paris Saint-Germain, had to be replaced in the closing stages of the recent FA Cup game at Wolves.
