Albania will take to the field tonight for a friendly match against Israel, but the coaching staff may be forced to make last-minute changes to the offensive department.
Myrto Uzuni woke up with a fever due to a virus and, according to sources close to the national team, will most likely not start the match from the first minute. The 30-year-old striker's condition has also put his activation during the match in question, while the final decision is expected to be made in the hours before the challenge.
The possible absence of Uzun is an additional concern for coach Rolando Maran, who aims to test and consolidate his attacking schemes in this match. The national team striker is considered one of the key elements of the offensive department and his absence would affect the tactical choices of the technical staff.
Ironically, the match against Israel comes against an opponent against whom Uzun has left his mark in the red and black jersey. In the two matches against the Israelis in the Nations League during 2022, he has scored two goals, scoring in each match.
Myrto Uzun's record against Israel:
Matches played: 2
Goals scored: 2
Confrontations:
June 10, 2022 , Nations League: Albania – Israel 2-1 (Uzun's goal in the 17th minute)
September 24, 2022 , Nations League: Israel – Albania 2-1 (Uzun's goal in the 88th minute)
It remains to be seen whether the striker will be able to recover in time to make his contribution, or will be forced to follow the challenge from the bench or off the field.
