Sasa Kalajdzic

Kalajdžić's value is straightforward, a target man tall enough to win almost any header he contests and strong enough to hold that position under close marking. He does not need to drop deep to get involved, staying central and waiting for a cross or a long pass to arrive instead of chasing possession out wide. That patience suits a team looking for an outlet when build up play through midfield gets stuck against a well organised defence.

Repeated serious knee injuries have interrupted his career at almost every stage he looked ready to kick on, each one forcing a long spell out and a slow rebuild of match sharpness. The obvious question is fitness rather than ability, since nobody doubts what he offers when he is actually on the pitch and moving freely. Watch how much game time he manages to string together, because availability has been the real battle of his career.
