making his debut in 2002 against Lithuania

and fibula following a challenge by Jovan Markoski
in the 6th minute of the match. This resulted in two operations and a two-and-a-half-year long battle to regain fitness.
Following the first operation at Belgrade's VMA clinic, the prognosis was 6–8 months away from the pitch, however, due to slow recovery another surgery was required. This one took place in early January 2007 at the Orthopedic clinic in Belgrade
As his contract with Partizan expired during his rehab, on 4 September 2008 Partizan management led by general-secretary Gordan Petrić
and football director Ivan Tomić
decided to extend Brnović's contract until summer 2009. Three days later, on 7 September 2008, Nenad played his first match after the injury, appearing for 15 minutes in a friendly against PAOK
. Later in the fall 2008, he appeared in anoher friendly versus Slavija Istočno Sarajevo
. By December 2008, Brnović appeared to be match-fit and ready to play competitive matches. Later that month Partizan started looking into options of moving him on loan for the first six months of his comeback.
