| The Albanian team before the match against Poland, September 2023 |
This weekend will be crucial for all the players called up by coach Silvinjo, on the eve of the match against the Czech Republic, which is of great importance for the road to the European Championship. The national team players will be busy with their clubs and need to avoid any injuries, although so far some of them have not left behind their concerns.
ISMAJLI - Ardian Ismajli's unfortunate fate continues as he suffered another injury against Sassuolo and left the field before the end of the match against Udinese. Ismajli, who was injured a few days earlier against Inter, was again in the starting lineup in Serie A. He delivered a good performance until the 75th minute when, after an action by the opponents in the box, he went down on the field and signaled from the bench that he needed medical assistance. The defender received treatment on the field, and an immediate substitution was requested as he left the field, visibly distraught, continuously shaking his head, still not believing the situation that occurred a few days after his recovery.
GJIMSHITI OK - Atalanta's defender left the field during the Europa League match due to muscle problems. However, Italian media have reported that the player has left behind his issues and has returned to training with the rest of the team, preparing for the match against Lazio. Gjimshiti completed the entire training session, but it remains to be seen how he will manage the weekend's challenge against Lazio, where he might face Elseid Hysaj.
SEFERI SCORES - Taulant Seferi has returned to celebrating goals in the jersey of Bani Yas in the United Arab Emirates. The forward found the back of the net in the match that his team won against Al Uahda in the league. Seferi had scored a goal in the second week of the championship, at the end of August, and since then, he had struggled to find the net with his team's jersey. He temporarily equalized the score at 1-1 in the 84th minute with a successfully converted penalty.
UZUNI - Myrto Uzuni will face Barcelona tonight, and before the match, Granada's coach, Pako Lopez, expressed the following about the Albanian: "The medical staff is managing him, and we are understanding the recovery time and the pubalgia problem. This week, he has had more training sessions than the previous week. The doctors say that he does not have an advanced pubalgia, and the treatment he is undergoing while continuing to train without interruption can be beneficial, and this problem can be resolved."
