Nikola couldn´t play the second game against Russia on last Sunday morning due to an inflammation of his left hamstring muscle. Without his player number one, France lost the match: 27:22.
"France has the chance tocount on the best player of the world (Niko), the best goalkeeper of the world (Titi Omeyer) and the world´s best defender (Didier Dinart). With them and with the base they have worked since years, in the end they will take advantage of it." This statement published by L´Equipe came from Andrej Lavrov, triple Olympic Champion with Russia.
While les Beues were losing against Russia, Niko reposed. "Guilty" for it was an easy inflammation of the left hamstring muscle. But his fans have all the reason to remain calm and to drive to Strasbourg: Niko will be available for the "Eurotournoi", who begins on Thrusday.
In the meantime, he joined his mother in Germany, by Europa-Park, where the players were allowed to bring their families, his father and his brother are on their way to Romania for the Men’s 20 European Championship.
