The National Team roster for the matches against Moldova and the Faroe Islands changes even though the team has not yet taken the field for the first training session. Defender Arlind Ajeti misses the last two qualifying matches of Euro 2024, due to an injury suffered in Romania.
The defender suffered an injury in the back muscles of his left leg, in the last game played with Cluj. Despite the injury, he appeared at the gathering, where he underwent specialized checks with the red and black medical staff.
The magnetic resonance confirmed the problem in the thigh and the doctors came to the conclusion that Ajeti needs a few days of absolute rest to recover. This caused coach Sylvinho and his staff to let the footballer go, replacing him with Jon Mersinaj.
The 24-year-old is part of Lokomotiva Zagreb and he returns to the National Team after a long absence. The defender debuted with the red and black colors in the June 2022 friendly against Estonia.
In the announcement of the AFL, it was emphasized that "the other players do not have physical problems and the whole group is expected to be completed during Monday evening". This means that there is optimism for Kristjan Asllan, even after the news from the Italian media that it is only a matter of muscle fatigue and there is no serious problem. (A2 Televizion)
