Kosovo prepare for Nations League clash against Israel

Kosovo’s national football team held a training session ahead of their UEFA Nations League match against Israel, scheduled for November 14 at the Fadil Vokrri Stadium in Pristina.

Head coach Franco Foda is preparing his squad for the encounter, with Kosovo aiming to secure a positive result in front of their home supporters, CE Report quotes Kosova Press.

Speaking at a press conference ahead of the match, Foda addressed defensive absences, the arrival of new players and the possibility of handing some of them their international debuts.

Foda confident despite defensive absences

"It is true that we have several absences in defense, but we have to overcome them. Dellova and Krasniqi are unavailable, but we now have enough players, and we have complete confidence in everyone at our disposal," Foda said.

He added that the situation could create opportunities for other members of the squad.

"The positive thing is that there could be a surprise, with another player potentially getting an opportunity to play," he explained.

New players could make their debuts

Foda also praised the integration of recently called-up players, suggesting that some could feature in the starting lineup against Israel.

"All the new players we have called up, including Kamberi, Enisi and Kurtulusi, could make their first appearances for Kosovo. They have integrated very well into the team, which confirms our expectations," he said.

"We have been following these players for a long time, and they have all made a very good impression during training. It is possible that one of them could be included in the starting lineup," the coach added.

Kosovo will look to capitalize on home support at the Fadil Vokrri Stadium as they seek a positive result against Israel.
