One of Partizan's biggest problems this season has undoubtedly been the high number of injuries, an element that significantly affected the team's performance and the results achieved throughout the championship. The Reds often appeared unlucky in this regard, as many of their key players were absent for various periods due to physical problems.
Numerous injuries penalized Partizan especially at the most important moments of the season, where the team needed continuity in the formation and stability in the game to fight for major objectives. However, the constant absences forced the technical staff to frequently change the lineup and improvise in some departments of the field.
One of the most serious injuries was that of Albers Keko. The striker suffered a serious knee ligament injury, a problem that kept him away from the field for a long time and deprived Partizan of an important alternative in the offensive department. His return came only at the end of the season, when the team's objectives had become significantly more complicated. Arafat Doumbia, one of the most important players in the Reds' midfield, also had numerous physical problems.
The midfielder was absent from several key matches of the championship, significantly reducing the team's strength and balance in the central department. Another significant absence was that of Marku, while Partizan also suffered from injuries to Skuka, a player who was expected to have an important role in the offensive department during the season.
The list of players with physical problems does not end here. Even names like Sulo, Martinez, Nondi, Fadairo or Atanaskoski faced injuries during the season, causing coach Oltijon Kërnaja to never have the full group of players available. In many matches, the technical staff was forced to alternate the formation not for tactical choices, but due to numerous shortages in the organic team.
This also affected the lack of continuity in the team's play, as the team failed to create the necessary automation during the championship. In some cases, certain players were activated outside their natural roles to cover the gaps created by injuries, a situation that also affected the team's collective performance. Beyond the other problems that accompanied Partizan this season, injuries remain one of the main reasons that prevented the team from having stability and using the full potential of the organic team. In a long championship with many decisive matches, the continuous absence of some of the main players had a direct impact on the negative performance of the Reds.
