Füchse Berlin goalkeeper Dejan Milosavljev has been cleared to start in the EHF Champions League final against FC Barcelona, overcoming a severe head injury sustained during the semi-final victory over SC Magdeburg.
According to a report by Bild, the 30-year-old netminder absorbed a direct impact to the face from a shot by SC Magdeburg’s Albin Lagergren during the 40-35 semi-final win.
Despite the concussion scare, Milosavljev has confirmed he is fit and available for the championship match.
The goalkeeper’s availability removes a major uncertainty for Füchse Berlin ahead of the final.
His presence in goal is considered a critical factor for the German side’s defensive structure and transition play against Barcelona’s high-tempo attack.
The confirmation of Milosavljev’s availability tightens the odds for Füchse Berlin in the final.
