Why is Dusan Vlahovic not starting for Serbia vs Cameroon?

Dusan Vlahovic was seen as Serbia’s main star for this FIFA World Cup. The former Fiorentina player has had a couple of great seasons, which meant his transfer to Juventus in a blockbuster move.

Vlahovic is not injured, so this move responds only to the manager’s decision. Instead of the Juventus striker, Stojkovic decided to start Aleksander Mitrovic from Fulham as their only striker to try to defeat Cameroon, who suffered a 1-0 loss to Switzerland in the opening round of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
