Angelovski did summon 23 players, but the many injuries are giving him a headache. Velkovski, Alioski, Ademi, Markoski, Nestorovski and Trajkovski are all problematic as they are currently sidelined of just have been recovered. Stefan Spirovski and Ivan Trichkovski are not in the squad at all. Stefan has been injured for a while, while Ivan recently picked up an injury. Time will tell if someone else will be forced to withdraw from the squad.

Back in the team are Ademi, who missed the opening matches in March, and Radeski who was injured since last summer and hasn’t been in the national team for a year.

“I admire Alioski and Ademi who even after surgery are eager to get back in the national team. Also Nestorovski and Trajkovski, both with recent injuries. I have great respect for players such those, who put the national team above everything.” – said Angelovski regarding some of the questionable players.
