Kosovo national team faces injury concerns and roster updates

The Kosovo national football team faces potential roster changes ahead of their Nations League campaign. Midfielder Elvis Rexhbeçaj sustained a leg injury during training without contact from another player. While his club, Wolfsburg, remains optimistic, further medical examinations are required to determine the severity and recovery timeline. His absence could impact Kosovo's upcoming matches, including their September 24 fixture against Ireland.

In contrast to injury concerns, goalkeeper Arijanet Muric has confirmed his availability for the national team. Despite recent rumors suggesting he might follow captain Amir Rrahman in declining invitations due to disagreements with Football Federation of Kosovo (FFK) officials, Muric's father clarified that the player remains happy to represent Kosovo. Muric, currently performing strongly for Sassuolo, is expected to lead the defense during the Nations League matches against Austria, Ireland, and Israel.
