Győri Audi ETO KC can not count on Jelena Despotovic for a longer period of time, after the player announced that she is expecting a child.
Győri Audi ETO KC's Jelena Despotovic, who was signed in summer 2021, is expecting a child. The player recently informed the club's management and team members about her condition.
"It is very difficult to consider such a situation as a club manager. On the one hand, as a family man, I am of course happy and supportive of a player starting a family, building her private life alongside her professional career. On the other hand, it has to be said that in a professional club it is difficult to react to such unexpected news, because it is never good when a player is out of the team during the season, especially for such a long period. It will definitely change the current structure of the team, which will put extra pressure on the other players. I wish Jeca good health for the coming months!
We have already made several references to why it is important for us to be personally involved in the world competitions in December. Following Jelena Despotovic's announcement that she is going to be a mother, the club immediately took the necessary steps to put together next year's squad. Based on the experience of the world tournaments, after having observed many players and our personal experience, we chose Line Haugsted, who we announced a few days ago." - said President Dr. Csaba Bartha.
On behalf of all athletes and staff of Győri Audi ETO KC, we wish Jelena Despotovic good health and a peaceful pregnancy.
