Millwall FC Star Mihailo Ivanović Sidelined with Broken Metatarsal
LONDON – Millwall FC has suffered a blow as star player Mihailo Ivanović has been ruled out for at least one week after sustaining a broken metatarsal during training yesterday. The injury is a setback for both the player and the club, as Ivanović has been a key figure in Millwall’s recent success.
Ivanović, who enjoyed a stellar 2024-25 season, has quickly become a fan favorite at The Den. His achievements include winning the Young Player of the Season and Goal of the Season awards for the same campaign, highlighting his exceptional talent and contribution to the team. He also earned the EA Sports FC Young Player of the Month award for April 2025 after scoring five goals in six matches, further solidifying his reputation as a rising star in the league.
In his debut season, Ivanović emerged as a leading goalscorer for Millwall, netting an impressive 12 goals in 37 games across all competitions. His dynamic play and knack for finding the back of the net have made him an integral part of the team’s attacking force.
The injury occurred during a routine training session, leaving Ivanović with a broken metatarsal in his foot. While the exact timeline for his recovery remains uncertain, the club has confirmed that he will be sidelined for at least a week. Further assessments will be conducted to determine the extent of the injury and the expected duration of his absence.
Millwall manager expressed his disappointment at the news, stating, “It’s a tough blow for us to lose Mihailo at this stage of the season. He’s a vital player for us, and we’ll miss his creativity and goal-scoring ability. However, we have a strong squad, and I’m confident that the other players will step up in his absence.”
The injury to Ivanović presents an opportunity for other players to shine and stake their claim for a regular spot in the starting lineup. Millwall will need to rely on their squad depth as they navigate upcoming fixtures without their star player.
Fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on Ivanović’s recovery progress, hoping for a swift return to the pitch. In the meantime, the team will need to rally together and maintain their momentum as they continue their campaign in the league.
