Pelister has started the winter preparations with several changes to their squad, including the signing of 2 players.

Several players have left Pelister over the past week. As we reported, Marjan Altiparmakovski left for Greece, Tome Kitanovski will play in Romania, while the Brazilian Stênio Júnior switched to Shkendija. The 4th player to leave the club was Bulgarian player Kiril Georgiev.

To help cover for those losses, Pelister has brought in Kiril Dinchev on loan from Litex Lovech in Bulgaria. Dinchev is a defender who primarily plays as a right back. The second signing was a 19-year-old Colombian forward named Santiago López.

Depending on other players who might leave, Pelister may bring in more new additions. Pelister also expects full recoveries from injury by captain Dimche Ristevski and forward Blagojche Glavevski along with Bosnian midfielder Riad Demić who suffered a serious injury early in the season. Toni Maglovski, Sashko Dukov and Burhan Mustafov, players who were loaned out during the first half of the season, are also back at Pelister and will be awaiting a decision by the coaching staff whether they will stay or be loaned again.

The plan for Pelister during the winter preparation period includes a two week training camp in Antalya, Turkey during February, but that is still unconfirmed as there could be changes to the itinerary.
