Kerkez threatened after choosing Serbian second-division club over Hungary national team

Kerkez attended a Serbian second-division match instead of supporting Hungary's Nations League game, sparking backlash and threats from Hungarian supporters.

Liverpool defender Milos Kerkez was suspended for Hungary's Nations League match against Ukraine on Monday after picking up two yellow cards in earlier fixtures. Rather than attend the game in Slovakia, Kerkez travelled to watch FK TSC play Graficar in Serbia's second division—a club near his birthplace of Vrbas.

The decision provoked anger among some Hungarian supporters, who issued threats against the player, prompting Hungary's Foreign Minister Anita Orbán to publicly condemn the intimidation.
