Thanks to the kindness of the hosts, HNS Mosor, Hajduk football players have had today their third training in Zrnovnica this week. They were training this morning at their temporary base 13 kilometers away from Poljud, where they performed their final preparations for tomorrow's away game against Cibalia Vinkovci (Sunday, kick - off 21:00). Like all the previous ones, this training was also opened to spectators and media representatives.

For the first round of MAXtv First League,  Marijan Pušnik's team will be partially modified from the starting 11 against Iasi (2: 2). Lovre Kalinic, Tino Susic, Marko Futacs and Josip Basic will have to miss the match. The first two are expected to be able to play against Iasi (Thursday, 20:30), while the other two are still in the process of rehabilitation. Some other players suffered kicks on a match against Iasi, but it is yet to be decided about their performances. It is however certain that there will be some changes.

Regardless of the individual absences, coach Pusnik announces that "there is no alibi and that the best team will play". Whenm asked if he would be satisfied with one point from Vinkovci, he answered: "No! Only victory!".

Including the preparations, Hajduk's match against Cibalia will be their 10th match in 32 days. In this one month long period, they were defeated once (Aluminij), and in the last five matches they have four wins (Zalgiris, RNK Split, Slavia, Junak) and one draw (Iasi). Hajduk arrived to Vinkovci on Saturday evening.

Of the players who were on trial, yesterday Thibaut Van Acker and Toni Grković did not train yesterday. Ante Blazevic did not train today.
