Franco Foda, the national team coach for Kosovo, has addressed recent speculation regarding the availability of several key players. In a statement to the media, Foda clarified the reasons behind the current absence of Milot Rashica, Florent Hadërgjonaj, and Fidan Aliti. He confirmed that the three footballers are currently unavailable for selection due to injuries.
The German coach emphasized that he has maintained consistent communication with the athletes, thereby dismissing any suggestion that the players were considering leaving the national setup. “I have spoken with all three players, and they are all injured,” Foda stated. Regarding Milot Rashica, he elaborated that the player has been dealing with physical issues, noting that there was an inherent risk of further injury.
Despite their current setbacks, Foda confirmed that the commitment of the players to the Kosovo national team remains intact. He assured the public that the athletes are dedicated to representing Kosovo and are focused on returning to action as soon as their physical condition permits. This clarification by Foda serves to manage expectations surrounding the team’s immediate roster depth while reaffirming the players’ commitment to the national cause.
The focus, according to the coach, remains on their recovery and subsequent reintegration into the squad.
