Montenegro’s team keeper collapsed – dead!
Shock news from Montenegro: team goalkeeper Matija Sarkic has died at the age of just 26.
The national soccer association and his club Millwall announced the tragic news on Saturday morning. According to several local media reports, Sarkic suddenly felt ill in his apartment in Budva and collapsed. The emergency services could do nothing more for him and he died on the spot. The cause of death is not yet known.
Nine caps for Montenegro
The 26-year-old most recently played for Millwall in the English second division and made nine appearances for the Montenegro national team - including a few days ago in a friendly against Belgium (0:2).
"Millwall Football Club is deeply saddened to announce the death of Matija Sarkic at the age of 26," said a club statement. Born in Grimsby in eastern England, Sarkic joined the London club in 2023 from first division side Wolverhampton Wanderers and was the Lions' regular goalkeeper last season.
"Everyone at the club sends their love and condolences to Matija's family and friends at this incredibly sad time," Millwall's statement continued. "The club will have no further comment at this time and asks that the privacy of Matija's family be respected."
