The U21 national team is starting a new chapter with a new generation. Today coach Blagoja Milevski announced the summoned players for the opening match of the new qualifying cycle.

The 2017 EURO in Poland is now behind us. It is time for a new generation of U21 players to follow the footsteps of those who wrote the Macedonian football history. Armenia away on the 5th of September will be the challenge that these new boys will have take on. Milevski summoned 21 players, among which injured Petkovski who might recover in time. But he is missing Stefan Jeftoski, Calvin N’Sombo and Dorian Babunski, three players that were supposed to be standard in the new generation.

“Petar Petkovski is questionable due to a knee injury. Stefan Jeftoski is without a club, while Calvin N’Sombo and Dorian Babunski are not playing. N’Sombo has problems with the documentation, while Babunski doesn’t get playing time in a Japanese third league side. I hope that they will find their way and will be with the nt for the October games.” – said Milevski on today’s press conference.
