Plymouth Argyle boss Miron Muslic has hailed Nikola Katic’s efforts to be fit for the Championship run-in.
The Bosnia defender missed the win over Sheffield United with a hamstring injury, but could feature in East Monday’s game against Coventry City at Home Park.
The 28-year-old has been a key figure in the heart of Argyle’s defence since joining on loan from FC Zurich in January.
“There’s even a little chance, because he absolutely wants and desperately wants, to have him available for Monday, so we will try everything to push for this,” Muslic told BBC Radio Devon.
“It’s never easy, especially when the season is about to end and the loan players know exactly ‘I will return back to my to my home club and I will return back to the roots’, so they can lose a little bit of spirit.
“But that’s exactly the opposite because Nikola, that’s an international football player, he’s a national player for Bosnia.
“He can also now use the next two-and-a-half to three weeks to completely recover, to completely heal, but he pushed us almost for this game against Middlesbrough.
“That’s why all the data is perfect, all the analysis is perfect, that’s why you need to do a character check before you sign players. I knew in January this is the right player for us.”
