"Manchester United" defender Nemanja Vidić's World Cup ended before it even began - as team representatives claim, on Monday the player suffered a knee injury during training and will not be able to play for at least a few weeks. N. Vidić, 24, who missed the first match against the Netherlands due to suspension, injured his knee while trying to intercept the ball during training. Initially, it was thought that he would miss the match against Argentina, but soon after, much sadder news came from the team camp. "Unfortunately, our defender Nemanja Vidić will no longer be able to play in the tournament due to a serious knee injury he suffered during Monday's training," said national team representative Aleksandar Bosković. "He was carried off the field in great pain. A detailed medical examination revealed damage to his left knee ligaments, so he will be unable to play for at least a few weeks. Undoubtedly, Nemanja is very upset now because his dream of playing in the World Cup is shattered, but he is a strong guy and everything will be fine." Without N. Vidić, Serbia and Montenegro's coach Ilija Petković will have to reshuffle the defense once again. Goran Gavrančič will play in the center of defense again, while Igor Duljaj is likely to take the place of right-back, as Nenad Djordjević, who played in that position against the Netherlands, struggled to stop Arjen Robben. Furthermore, I. Petković will now have to continue in the tournament with only 21 players, as coach's son Dušan, who was called up to the team after Mirko Vučinić suffered an injury, decided to withdraw from the team before the championship due to criticism and media pressure.
