Due to an injury, Nikolce Noveski won’t play in the friendly against Luxembourg but will still travel there to watch the match.

Noveski had a thigh strain since Thursday, missed the Mainz game yesterday, and will be excluded from the upcoming friendly on Wednesday against Luxembourg.  Manager John Toshack announced the news earlier in the morning but decided not to name a replacement for Noveski so Macedonia will have 18 available players for the friendly.  Despite the injury, Nikolce Noveski will still travel to Luxembourg on Wednesday to watch the game from the stands.
