Kosovo will be without their number 1 keeper Ujkani who will join the squad but only for the Nations League matches. Also, their best player winger Milot Rashica of Bundesliga side Werder is out injured. Winger Bernard Berisha did not receive a call and rumors say he is in no good relations with the Swiss coach. Zhegrova and Kastrati are on the list, but they are doubtful for the Macedonia game.

Muriqi, the addition to Lazio, is on the list as he started with individual training just yesterday. He recently had a COVID-19 positive test, but seems like he recovered from the virus. Still, he was also injured and hasn’t played a minute since 19 July.

Kosovo tried to bring in Swiss U21 national team forward Andi Zeqiri, but he declined the invitation stating that he would continue to play for Switzerland for now.
