Hajduk Split players cleared for Raków match under new UEFA rules

Hajduk Split players Šimun Hrgović and Rokas Pukštas will be available for the upcoming away match against Raków Częstochowa in Poland, despite having accumulated three yellow cards in European qualifiers this summer. Under new UEFA regulations, yellow card counts are reduced by one after every two qualifying rounds to prevent players from missing crucial matches due to accumulated cautions that did not result in red cards.

Following a recent victory against Osijek, Šimun Hrgović expressed confidence ahead of the decisive second leg. Hrgović, who scored his first official goal for the club during the match, noted that while Raków is a physically powerful team, the squad is prepared for the challenge of securing a place in European group stages.
