Isnik Alimi has decided to represent Albania in the future, Viktor Angelov has been called up to take his place.

Problems for U21 national team coach Vujadin Stanojkovikj ahead of the EURO home qualifier against Israel. Attacker Isnik Alimi who two days ago joined 3rd league side Lumezzane on loan from Chievo, decided to represent Albania in the future. He was born in Struga (Macedonia), but of Albanian origin. So far he made only 4 appearances for the U19 national team and the Israel qualifier was supposed to be his first in the U21s.

His place will be taken by Metalurg’s striker Viktor Angelov who on Monday celebrated a brace in his team’s surprising trashing over title holders Rabotnichki. He has one appearances for the U21s and few more for the U19 and U17 national teams.

New information from today: David Babunski and Valmir Nafiu have also withdrawn from the squad.

Macedonia will host Israel on 13 August at 20.00 CET on the National Arena Philip II of Macedon in Skopje.
