The coach of the Albanian football team Edy Reja wants to have Marash Kumbulla available at all costs for the last two challenges of Albania in the League of Nations. The red and black central defender could not join the representative for the friendly against Kosovo on Wednesday, as his team Roma is in isolation at least until Wednesday after Edin Dzeko tested positive a few days ago with COVID-19. The Albanian Football Federation and above all Reja still hope that Kumbulla can join the team for the last two matches, against Kazakhstan and Belarus. In order to achieve this goal, they are ready to place a private jet at the disposal of Kumbula to make sure of his journey.
This is a condition set by the Institute of Public Health in Rome, always if Rome gives permission to him to join Albania. The AFF remains in constant contact with the authorities in Rome to enable the merger of Plum with the representative team. The situation at the Roman club does not favor the departure of the red and black defender as recently three other players have proved positive with COVID-19, Federico Fazio, Davide Santon, and Lorenzo Pellegrini, the last two were on the field this weekend in the challenge against Genoa. Initially, they tested negative on Saturday, while this Monday, on the next test, they tested positive.
