Trpišovský before Cluj: Kolář will be the catcher, we had a talk with Sor about the transfer

On Thursday, Slavia Prague hosts Cluj in Romania. The last time they faced them was three years ago and were successful. Even now they are the favourites, nothing but a win would make the club and the fans happy. What did coach Jindřich Trpišovský say at the press conference?

Slavia has not yet been relegated in the group stage of the Conference Europa League. In the opening game they drew at Sivasspor, then at home they beat Ballkani.

On the other hand, Cluj did not win, drew with Ballkani away and fell at home to the Turks. Because of this, the home team is the favourite and will want to add points not only to the table but also to the coefficient.

“The position in the table will be determined a lot by the success rate in home games. Tomorrow we will want to do well and create a good position for the further course of the group. Our great fans will definitely help us,” said coach Jindřich Trpišovský at the press conference.

The squad is slowly emptying out, with Ewerton already available and Christ Tiéhi, Matěj Jurásek and Ondřej Lingr expected to join the team compared to the league game. Yira Sor should also be ready.

“Yira’s injury was very complicated, he doesn’t feel like playing from the beginning yet. We have sorted out the transfer situation. We agreed that it would be best for him to stay in Slavia,” added the coach.

On the other hand, Aleš Mandous, who was also missing in the match against Liberec, will be missing. For the first time in the season, Ondřej Kolář, who last captained Feyenoord in April, will capture the European Cup.

“Tomorrow Ondrej Kolář will catch. Ales hasn’t trained in the last few days, his health condition is still unclear. Thefinal result should come at the end of the week,” Trpišovský added.
