Kosovo continues preparations, focus on game tactics
Kosovo's national football team held its penultimate training session on Thursday in preparation for the match against Israel.
On Friday, it will hold its final training session before Saturday’s match against the Israelis, in Group B3 of the Nations League.
The Kosovo–Israel match kicks off at 15:00 and is part of Group B3.
“Coach Franco Foda continued working with the players, focusing on tactical aspects, game organization and details aimed at preparing the team as well as possible for the upcoming challenge,” the Football Federation of Kosovo (FFK) wrote on Thursday.
The next training session was open to the media for only the first 15 minutes. This was also the case with the previous training sessions. Afterward, work continued behind closed doors.
The FFK announced that winger Ermal Krasniqi missed the latest training session due to muscular concerns.
“An assessment of his condition will be made known after medical examinations,” the FFK wrote.
Krasniqi is the latest player who may not be ready for the matches against Israel and Ireland in Dublin on November 17.
Earlier, centre-back Lumbardh Dellova was released from the squad due to injury.
Due to injury, the “Dardanians” are also without another centre-back, Albian Hajdari.
Kosovo is second with five points, while Israel is in last place with two points.
