FC Volendam goalkeeper Filip Stankovic recently had to miss the 2-0 victory against Vitesse due to an alleged elbow injury. The goalkeeper had rushed to Italy to undergo a number of medical checks at his employer Inter. “I read somewhere that I would have already had surgery.”

The 21-year-old Stankovic, who was already under the bar last weekend in the 3-0 defeat against NEC, says that he can finish the season at FC Volendam without any worries. “There is a piece of bone in my elbow and I will take it out later. I was in Milan for an examination with my employer Inter. They were a little concerned. It was nothing serious in the end. I am okay and can play,” said Stankovic.
“FC Emmen is a direct competitor, but we still get seven or eight of those matches that way”
FC Volendam coach Wim Jonk can therefore use his first goalkeeper again in the squatter against FC Emmen next Saturday. Against the people of Drenthe there is again a duel against a direct competitor. “Perhaps such a match can cause extra tension, but that will not play a role with us. We have to go full throttle every match. FC Emmen is a direct competitor, but that way we will get seven or eight of those matches,” said young.

Jonk cannot rely on Gaetano Oristanio against FC Emmen. Inter’s other mercenary has been suspended for the next three games. Jonk was disappointed that the appeal against the suspension only resulted in a minimal penalty. Jonk: “It is not for nothing that we already appealed. I just think it was very severely punished. Especially for someone who has no criminal record at all.”
FC Volendam, which is fourteenth, has now collected twenty points after 23 matches in the premier league. We find opponent FC Emmen in sixteenth place with eighteen points. The game in Volendam starts on Saturday at 6.45 pm.
