Albania/ Israel

Myrto Uzuni woke up today with a fever as a result of a virus and, according to sources close to the team, will most likely not start tonight's friendly against Israel.

Albania will take to the field tonight for the next test, but coach Rolando Maran faces a last-minute surprise.

Myrto Uzuni, one of the most important elements of the red and black attack, has shown health problems this morning.

According to information from the national camp, the 30-year-old has lost the runoff for a place in the starting lineup and his activation as a substitute also remains in doubt.

Although it is a friendly match, Uzun's absence is another constraint for coach Maran in designing the formation and consolidating offensive schemes. The news comes at a specific moment, as it was against Israel that the striker recorded some of his most productive performances with the national team jersey.

Uzun's record against Israel:

Matches played: 2

Goals scored: 2 (100% efficiency)

Historical confrontations:

10 June 2022 (Nations League): Albania 2–1 Israel | Uzuni 17′

September 24, 2022 (Nations League): Israel 2–1 Albania | Uzuni 88′
