Our coach put 28 players on his list. Among them is one debutante in Zdravkovski, who is a 24-year-old DM playing in Cyprus and so far has featured for the youth NTs.
CB Nikola Serafimov and AM Tihomir Kostadinov are not available due to injuries, LB Todor Todoroski has a red card suspension, while CM/DM Boban Nikolov and Stefan Spirovski have been left out due to lack of playing time at their clubs.
“We are better than Malta, but we have to prove it. Outsiders do not exist today. We will do everything to start successfully in the EURO qualifiers. We have tough opponents, but we have the quality and potential to cope. There is no surrender, and the first match is always the most important” – said Milevski at today’s press-conference.
