Scores versus Empoli Djuric drew two fouls and scored one goal to go with one shot (one on target) and one clearance in 25 minutes in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Empoli.

Impact Djuric relieved Mateo Pellegrino relatively early and hit the net with a nifty deflection on a set piece, benefiting from Devis Vasquez's indecision. It's his first goal since joining Parma, as he missed time with a knee injury, and fourth in the season. He could be a bigger part of the rotation down the stretch. He has logged one shot and two clearances in his last five cameos.

Subs in late against Verona Djuric (knee) played one minute and had one pass in Monday's 0-0 draw with Verona.

Impact Djuric didn't get much action in his return from a knee injury. He'll likely continue to be handled carefully for a while, also because his competitors Ange-Yoan Bonny and Mateo Pellegrino have been fine in recent matches.

Bench option Djuric (knee) is on the bench for Monday's match against Verona.

Impact Djuric is back from his knee injury after a decent layoff, missing the club's past five games due to the injury.

Available against Verona Djuric (knee) "has resumed practicing with the team and will be with us Monday," coach Christian Chivu stated.

Impact Djuric was previously thought to be lost for the season, but he didn't need to go under the knife and recovered more quickly than anticipated from a knee injury. He'll re-join Ange-Yoan Bonny and Mateo Pellegrino among the options for the no.9 role after sitting out five matches. He had started four matches in a row before getting hurt, posting four shots (zero on target) and drawing four fouls.

Might not return this season Djuric (knee) "will likely be sidelined for the remainder of the season," coach Fabio Pecchia stated.

Impact Djuric will avoid surgery for the time being but might run out of time to recover from a significant knee sprain. He has made three starts since the January switch. Ange-Yoan Bonny and Mateo Pellegrino will handle the position for the most part. The coach has also occasionally leaned on a false-nine.

Impact Djuric didn't record stats before being forced to leave after a big collision with an opponent. He seemed poised to be carted off but eventually managed to leave under his own power with the help of the medical staff. He's headed for some tests. Ange-Yoan Bonny substituted for him and would resume being the top option if he missed time.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to Parma Djuric has joined Parma on a permanent deal from Monza, the two clubs relayed.

Impact Djuric has scored eight goals and provided eight assists in 35 matches (16 starts) with Monza in the past calendar year. He has tallied 23 shots (10 on target) and five key passes this campaign. He'll compete with Ange-Yoan Bonny and occasionally play along with him on his new team. Instead, Monza will lean on a light attack, turning to Daniel Maldini, Dany Mota Carvalho (foot) and Gianluca Caprari until they find a replacement.

DECEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Lecce game Djuric "is touch and go for Sunday; we'll see in the final training," coach Alessandro Nesta stated.

Impact Djuric isn't fully healthy and might drop to the bench even if he's passed fit late. Dany Mota Carvalho or Mirko Maric would lead the line in that event, opening a spot as a no.10 in the first case.

AUGUST 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returning against Genoa Djuric (ribs) will be available versus Genoa on Saturday, coach Alessandro Nesta announced.

Impact Djuric has overcome a rib injury that bothered him for a couple of weeks and might unseat Andrea Petagna depending on his level of fitness.
