Win for Hradecky in the Nations League
Lukas Hradecky and Finland remain unbeaten in the UEFA Nations League (League C, Group 2). Finland beat Estonia 1-0 on Tuesday night.
As in the 1-0 victory over Hungary on Saturday, the 28-year-old was again in goal for the full 90 minutes although his jaw operation meant he missed almost all of the pre-season and he has yet to make an appearance for the Werkself – a thoroughly positive signal for the coming weeks.
The internationals were less of a success for his team-mates: Charles Aránguiz and Chile drew 0-0 in a friendly against South Korea – the Werkself number 20 played for the first 45 minutes in his 66th international for La Roja. World Cup runner-up Tin Jedvaj (Croatia; League B, Group 3) and Aleksandar Dragovic (Austria; League B, Group 3) did not appear for their teams in the Nations League. Croatia suffered a setback with a 6-0 away defeat to Spain and Austria lost 1-0 to Bosnia-Herzegovina.
All four players are expected to return to Leverkusen tomorrow to join in with the build-up to the Bundesliga game against Bayern Munich on Saturday (15.30 CET).
