The Albanian national team will have a slightly different lineup for the match against San Marino on Tuesday compared to the defeat against Finland. Because Etrit Berisha is suspended due to a red card, Rolando Maran has called up Simon Simon from the U-21 national team, who was initially invited from the A national team.

Two players have gone in the opposite direction. Defender Samuele Sina, as well as midfielder Feta Fetai, have joined the U-21 national team for the friendly match against Ukraine, which is part of the preparations for the U-21 European Championship with Serbia. Meanwhile, midfielder Luis Hasa has recovered and will be available for the national team for the 4th match in the Nations League.

On Tuesday, Albania plays to get 3 points against San Marino, but also to hope to return to first place, as leading Finland will play against Belarus, which also has claims to the first two places.

UEFA has also appointed the referees for the Nations League match. Against San Marino there will be 6 referees from Turkey, led by Mehmet Turkmen. For Albania, the referees have recently been very controversial, as initially coach Rolando Maran, but also some of the players blame referee Rob Hennessy from Ireland for the loss against Finland.
