Under normal circumstances, the Football Federation of Kosovo (FFK) should have already published the list of players invited by the selector Primozh Gliha. The selector would hold a press conference to justify his choices, and at least the day and time of the first training session of "Dardans" would be made public. But, for none of these, the FFK has not announced. At least until the article is published. There are three days left before the match with Israel. The match between Kosovo and Israel will be played on Sunday (20:45) at the "Fadil Vokrri" stadium in Pristina and belongs to the qualifications for "Euro 2024". This match was supposed to be played on October 15, but was postponed due to the situation in the Middle East. KOHA has learned that the list of players will be published on Friday, the day when the collection begins.
"Selector Primozh Gliha will appear before the journalists only on Saturday, the day before the match against Israel. The list of players will be published on Friday. It is planned to start the camp officially on Friday", said an official of the FFK under conditions of anonymity.
KOHA has also learned that the delay in the publication of the list for this month's matches occurred after the obstacle encountered by the officials of the Representative Office with some of the clubs where Kosovo players appear. The players have hesitated to speak openly, if they will be part of Kosovo for the match against Israel. For example, the captain of Kosovo, Amir Rrahmani, has said that he does not know if he will be present in the match against Israel.
Rrahmani, who is part of the Napoli team, said that he is evaluating things with the Italian club and that he still does not have a correct answer. Napoli plays against Empoli in Serie A on Sunday.
"I don't know yet, we are evaluating things", Rrahmani said when he was asked if he will be absent against Empoli because he will be gathered with Kosovo.
Even Milot Rashica has hesitated to talk about the first match that Kosovo plays this month.
