Captaining Serbia was the pinnacle of Forest defender Milenkovic's career

With Aleksandar Mitrovic, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, and Dusan Vlahovic all unavailable for international duty, it was up to Milenkovic to step up and take on the leadership role for the team.

Head coach Dragan Stojkovic spoke on his decision to give the 26 year old the responsibility. 

"I am glad I decided to make him the captain,” He said. “He fully justified the role.” 

Milenkovic described it as “the crowning glory” of his career and said ,"The armband represents a great honour and obligation.” 

Serbia face Switzerland next month as they look to build on their Spanish draw in what is a tough Nations League group.
