"Stopira pulled a muscle recently and the planned treatment has lasted longer than originally thought. This is why the club has decided against allowing the player to travel to his national team. His rehabilitation will continue in Szekesfehervar" - commented club doctor Tibor Kovacs.

"It is a big pity that I cannot be there with the national team, but the first and most important thing is that I fully recover, and get back to 100% condition. I also naturally watched the Hungarian national team on TV on Thursday evening. I was delighted with the success that they picked up. I hope that they will also pick up the right result on Sunday. My own country will play two important qualifiers on Friday evening and next week against Kenya. They will not be easy matches but I hope that the lads will do well and get over the barrier" - said Stopira to vidi.hu
