Erik Janža suffers knee injury after scoring winner for Górnik Zabrze

Erik Janža secured a victory for Górnik Zabrze against Wieczysta Kraków with a free-kick goal in the 90th minute, breaking a run of four consecutive draws for his club. Despite providing the decisive moment after the score had remained level at 1:1 for much of the contest, the 33-year-old left-back suffered an injury immediately before the final whistle.

Speaking to Czwarta Trybuna Podcast, Janža explained that he felt a stinging sensation in his knee late in the match. The Górnik Zabrze captain confirmed that he experienced pain in the joint just prior to the game's conclusion, casting doubt on his immediate availability despite scoring the winning goal.

Janža stated he intends to travel to Slovenia to consult a doctor regarding the knee issue. He indicated uncertainty about the severity, noting that the medical professional will determine whether diagnostic examinations are required or if the condition improves without further intervention.

The planned medical consultation aligns with Janža’s scheduled participation in a Slovenian national team camp. The defender has accumulated 36 caps for his country, and the upcoming international gathering provides an opportunity for assessment while he is already committed to national team duties.
