Eventually the squad list for the decisive EURO qualifier is known. It will also serve for the last two Europa League matches.

National team coach Igor Angelovski has summoned 24 players for the upcoming three matches. Most important is the first, the one against Georgia on the 12th as it is the final play-off for reaching the EURO 2020. The coach has no problems, all players so far are available.
Unusually for him, he included four players. That is due to the fact that Dimitrievski must serve a red card suspension in the first Nations League match, the one against Estonia. UEFA says that two reserve keepers must be on the bench, so that means four have to be on the list.
Angelovski erased Ferhan Hasani and Kristijan Toshevski from the previous squad, two players who haven’t played much for their clubs recently.
But back in the team is Elif Elmas who was absent in October due to positive COVID-19 test.
