JOHANNESBURG, June 20 Slovenia forward Nejc Pecnik is out of the World Cup after breaking his ankle in Friday's 2-2 draw with the United States, the team doctor said.
Pecnik came on as a second half substitute and was carried off on a stretcher in injury time after a collision with an opponent in the Group 'C' match at Ellis Park.
“Pecnik was taken to hospital immediately and the scan revealed a fractured ankle and ligament damage, meaning that he will return to Slovenia as quickly as possible,” Matjaz Vogrin told the Slovenian Foot- ball Association website. —Reuters
