Dion Berisha cannot play for Albania, FIFA: played for Kosovo

 Dion Berisha has scored 5 goals and provided 2 assists in the 12 matches he has played with Bayern's second team so far. The 20-year-old winger has been part of the preliminary squad list for Albania U-21 in the October matches, but due to documentation issues, he couldn't play for the U-21 national team and had to leave the gathering.

Local media say that the player, born in Lyon, France, cannot play in official matches with Albania U-21 because a month earlier, in September, he was on the field with Kosovo U-21, and FIFA's regulations do not allow such a situation.

Thus, the winger can only play in a friendly match with the red and black jersey or he must await an invitation from Silvinho to the senior national team in the future, as the forward position is currently somewhat overcrowded.

Returning to Kosovo U-21 is equally difficult for Dion Berisha since this month he has made a choice that I don't think has left a good taste with Kosovo U-21's coaching staff. However, anything can happen in November when the next qualifying matches are scheduled.
