Crvena zvezda coach Albert Riera addresses Katai suspension
Crvena zvezda manager Albert Riera has clarified the disciplinary action taken against Aleksandar Katai, following reports that the player was expelled from the team. Riera stated that Katai was not removed from the squad but was instead suspended for two matches due to an unprofessional reaction following a substitution during a match against Radnički Niš.
Riera emphasized that discipline applies to everyone, including himself, and noted that as a captain, Katai has a greater responsibility to set an example for the rest of the team. The coach maintained that the captaincy is an obligation rather than a privilege.
Despite the suspension, Riera confirmed that Katai continues to train with the team and is expected to return to competition as early as next Sunday. The club is preparing for its UEFA Conference League debut against Lugano in Switzerland.
