The Kosovo representative trained on Friday for the first time at the "Fadil Vokrri" stadium in Pristina, since March. But the first training session on the eve of the June friendlies was marked by the absence of some new faces.
A total of 20 footballers were present at the first training session, but there were some absences.
Ibrahim Dreshević of Heerenveen was absent due to infection with the coronavirus.
Dreshević's absence was filled in a way by the Balkan attacker, Mirlind Daku, who was the best scorer in the Super League for the edition that ended with 31 goals in total. Daku was invited on Friday together with Betim Halimi.
Bashkim Ajdini, who was invited to Kosovo for the first time, is engaged with Osnabruck, Astrit Selmani will play the final of the Swedish Cup with Hammarby, while Arijanet Muriq is sick. Instead of the latter, the goalkeeper of Olimpic Donetsk in Ukraine, Betim Halimi, has been invited.
