Following the incident that occurred in Sunday’s A-League Men’s match against Macarthur FC, which involved Milorad Stajić, Brisbane Roar wishes to make the following statement.
“Brisbane Roar takes player welfare and the concussion protocols extremely seriously.
“During Sunday’s match against Macarthur FC, there was a clear miscommunication within the officiating team about Milorad Stajic’s return to play. As the footage shows at 35:52, Milorad re-entered the field only after the on-field referee signalled him back on.
“Our match day doctor had determined that Milorad should not continue, and the Club substituted him at the first opportunity.”
Brisbane Roar will be making no further comment at this time.
