Coach Sylvinho has announced a squad of 26 players, notable for the absences of Mirlind Daku, Arbnor Muja, and Klaus Gjasula.
The head of the coaching staff of the Red and Blacks explained the reasons why these players were not invited.
"In the attacking department, there are many headaches, which is normal for me. Muja, Daku, and Gjasula are important; we consider them, but I cannot gather 30 players," said Sylvinho.
He also discussed the invitations extended to top scorer Rey Manaj and the return of Armando Broja.
"We also need to consider players who are joining me for the first time, like Manaj, while Broja is on his second call-up. We've been following Hoxha for three months; he plays on the left. We need to monitor the players. It wasn't easy. In the attacking department, there are many headaches, which is normal for me."
"I am pleased with the balance of the team both offensively and defensively. We have had one of the strongest defenses; everyone has worked and contributed to the defensive phase. We observe the player at every moment of training and not just in matches; it's a process that starts as soon as the player arrives," Sylvinho added.
