Marta Batinović is a goalkeeper in Montenegro. However, Batinović suffered an injury in Thursday’s match against Croatia. This means that the Montenegrin goalkeeper has finished playing in the World Championship, and a substitute has been called in.
Montenegro has two matches left in the Main R, against Senegal and Sweden. But Montenegro will be without Marta Batinović, who has played the majority of the World Championship. It was during Thursday’s match against Croatia that the goalkeeper suffered a severe injury. It was later revealed that it was a anterior cruciate ligament injury, which means that Marta Batinović’s World Championship journey has come to an end.
The Montenegrin Handball Federation states that 22-year-old Anastasija Babović, from ŽRK Budućnost, has been called in as a replacement. Babović will be included in Montenegro’s lineup for the match against Senegal on Saturday.
