Stankovic withdraws from Serbia camp with adductor injury
Aleksandar Stankovic is the newest Inter player to pull out of his national team camp due to injury, as the Serbian FA confirmed he withdrew after sustaining an adductor injury during Monday’s training session.
Stankovic joins the growing list of Inter players sidelined by injury during the international break.
Stankovic was among five Serie A players selected for the Serbia national team squad last week, alongside his brother Filip, Napoli goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, Atalanta midfielder Lazar Samardzic, and Milan defender Strahinja Pavlovic, who has also withdrawn due to injury.
The Serbian FA confirmed in a Tuesday statement that Stankovic has left the squad and will miss the upcoming Nations League fixtures against Germany and Greece.

The Inter midfielder trained with the Serbia squad on Monday but reported pain in his right groin and underwent medical tests that identified a muscular injury in his right thigh.
Stankovic is returning to Milan to receive further treatment with Inter.
Fellow Nerazzurri internationals Ange-Yoan Bonny and Marcus Thuram have also withdrawn from the Ivory Coast and France squads respectively over the past two days due to injury issues. Bonny is expected to be out for approximately a month.
