Sandi Lovric - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Returning to Udinese Lovric has reported back to Udinese after his loan at Verona.

Impact Lovric couldn't significantly help Verona avoid relegation because of a muscular injury and starred just eight times (three starts), registering three shots (one on target), six chances created and 31 crosses (nine accurate) in the second half of the campaign. He wasn't playing much at Udinese after being a linchpin for three consecutive seasons, so his future is up in the air.

The midfielder recorded a season-high tally of four interceptions in his 13th appearance and seventh since joining Verona from Udinese. In addition to his defensive numbers, he has taken a few corner kicks in recent action as he shares those duties with Tomas Suslov.

Missing again for Napoli game Lovric (undisclosed) hasn't been called up for Saturday's clash versus Napoli.

Impact Lovric will skip the second contest in a row due to a muscular injury, but it's not overly serious, and he'll have more than a week to be ready for the Napoli game.

FEBRUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Absent versus Parma Lovric (undisclosed) "won't be an option Sunday," coach Paolo Sammarco stated.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Swings in eight crosses against Pisa Lovric won one of two tackles and recorded one shot (zero on goal), eight crosses (zero accurate) and six corners in Friday's 0-0 draw against Pisa.

Impact Lovric hasn't needed much time to settle in at his new club and easily posted a new season high in crosses and corners, but he lacked precision. He got the start over Suat Serdar in this one. The two would likely team up if Antoine Bernede (ankle) misses time. He has recorded multiple deliveries in his last four showings, totaling 20 (four accurate) and adding five chances created, 13 corners and three off-target shots.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to Verona Lovric has joined Verona on a six-month loan from Udinese.

Could be back versus Milan Lovric (calf) "is recovering from his injury. The whole squad is available," coach Kosta Runjaic informed.

Impact Lovric could return from a one-game absence, as alluded to by the gaffer, even though he stopped short of declaring it. He has assisted once and added five crosses (two accurate), one key pass and four corners in his lone appearance. Jakub Piotrowski has been fine in relief.

Out to face Pisa Lovric (calf) is out for Sunday's match against Pisa.

Impact Lovric was a late call for Sunday, but will not make the call due to his calf issues, with the midfielder left out to face Pisa.

Impact Lovric avoided serious issues after bowing out early while playing with his national team, but he might still be sidelined in this one. Jakub Piotrowski, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp or Oier Zarraga would start in that event.

Impact Lovric didn't last long in Monday's World Cup qualifier and appears to have suffered an injury after coming off in the 21st minute. This will be something to monitor as he returns from the international break, as the midfielder did start in their season opener. Jakub Piotrowski was his replacement for Udinese's second contest of the season, likely to continue in the starting role if Lovric falls to the sidelines.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Lovric had a very underwhelming display and won't be an option for the last game against Fiorentina on Sunday due to yellow-card accumulation. Arthur Atta will most likely replace him.

He has fired at least one shot in five consecutive matches, amassing nine (two on target), with two key passes, 14 crosses (two accurate) and 10 corners and no goal contributions.

He has notched 14 crosses (two accurate), nine corners, four shots and four interceptions in the last five matches, with no goal contributions.
