Blazenko Lackovic had a successful operation on his injured forefinger, and now the timetable for his return shows early January. Contemplating that he can go back to training in January, it is yet unknown whether he will be able to help his national team at the World Championship 2013 in Spain, which is from 12-27th January. If he is to miss it, then the Croatian team might be in trouble now that a key player is to miss it.
