SYDNEY FC goalkeeper Vedran Janjetovic has been granted indefinite leave at his own request to deal with “personal issues”.

The goalkeeper, who has been displaced this season as the Sky Blues No1 since Danny Vukovic’s arrival from Melbourne Victory, has been absent for the past two games and will again miss Saturday’s clash with Adelaide at Allianz Stadium.

It’s believed the club will make a statement on Janjetovic ‘s position later today (Thursday) when the squads for this week’s games are released.

For the past two weeks he has been listed as “ill”, with youth team keeper Thomas Manos on the bench.

Janjetovic has been at Sydney for the past four years and made 100 appearances. There has been speculation about his future at Sydney, with his former goalkeeping coach Zeljko Kalac now at Western Sydney.
