Twenty-three players got a call up for the opening matches. Among them are two who are questionable. Spirovski recovered from the injury and is back in training but hasn’t played any matches, while Trichkovski recently picked up an injury.

Ademi is definitely unavailable as he undergoes a surgery in order to fully recover from a stomach injury.

Teenager Churlinov has been added to the squad as well as Markoski who after joining Slovak side Spartak found his form.

From the previous squads, keeper David Mitov Nilson and left back Mite Cikarski were left out. On our question who will be the first sub if Dimitrievski can’t play, Angelovski said that still hasn’t decided if it would be Iliev or Shishkovski.
