“Additional tests in the coming days showed that there was a hyperextension of the knee, an injury that does not require surgery, but because of which, according to the first estimates, Stjepan will be out for about two, two and a half months,” they stated from Rijeka.
Radeljić will thus miss the opening games in 2025. Rijeka continues the championship on January 26 against Lokomotiva in Rujevica, and then visits Varaždin on February 1.
Radeljić will miss January and February, and should play again in March. Then the first World Cup qualification match between Romania and Bosnia and Herzegovina is scheduled, so it remains to be seen whether he will recover by then.
Radeljić played 20 games for Rijeka this season and scored three goals. He is one of the key players of the leader of the Croatian championship, who conceded only seven goals in 18 games.
