Josip Stanisic

ANALYSIS
Stanisic missed the last four games due to an ankle injury and will likely miss a few more, although he was spotted training individually with the ball on Monday. The defender is expected to return within the month of February if everything goes as planned in his recovery. Stanisic had been a regular starter prior to his injury, therefore his absence has forced a change in the starting XI, with Hiroki Ito seeing more playing time in the backline.
