Igor Angelovski, still just the interim manager as of right now, will make his coaching debut for Macedonia on Thursday in the friendly against Montenegro.

Gjoko Zajkov debuted for Charleroi, Ilija Nestorovski added another goal for Inter Zaprešić, Stefan Ristovski collected an assist for Rijeka, David Babunski suffered an injury for Barcelona B, while Krste Velkoski converted a penalty kick for Sarajevo.

Blagoja Milevski, the manager of the U21 national team, made only few changes for the important qualifier against France on November 15.

David Mitov Nilsson and Norrköping secured the league title in Sweden, Stefan Ristovski, Leonard Zuta (both Rijeka) and Vanche Shikov (Austria Wien) saw their clubs move into sole possession of first place in Croatia and Austria, respectively, while Agim Ibraimi scored a goal for Maribor in Slovenia.

Mario Gjurovski netted three more goals in Thailand, Aleksandar Lazevski found the back of the net for Mladost Lučani, while Agim Ibraimi collected an assist for Maribor in a midweek period that featured more games than usual.

There is a big possibility that “Mladost” stadium in Strumica will host the 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Israel and Albania.

Ilija Nestorovski added two more goals for Inter Zaprešić, while Dorian Babunski scored his first goal for Fuenlabrada. Overall, though, this was a brutal weekend for most Macedonian internationals.

Vanche Shikov was able to avoid a serious injury, while Goran Pandev suffered a new setback to continue his frustrating season.

Big problems for Arijan Ademi as his B sample was also positive, meaning a long suspension awaits.
