Gjimshiti is missing against Latvia, Sylvinho points out the substitute:

On Tuesday at 20:45 at "Skonto Stadions" in Riga, Latvia and Albania will face off in the next duel of Group K of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

In this match, our national team will have a major absence, that of Berat Gjimshiti.

The center-back was booked in the 19th minute of the 0-0 draw against Serbia, completing the number of yellow cards that will keep him out of the next match.

Coach Sylvinho has spoken about this situation while hinting that Adrian Bajrami, who plays for Benfica, is a leading candidate for the starting jersey.

"Gjimshiti's absence? We have to see everything. Now we have 5 center-backs along with Adrian Bajram who is 'driving me crazy', he is playing very well. He will go to the USA after the match to play with Benfica in the World Cup. We have players and it is good for selection, we will do the training and we will see. We have spent a lot of energy", said Sylvinho after the match.

It should be noted that Ardian Ismajli is a strong candidate to form the defensive duo alongside Ajeti against Latvia.

Ismajli, who has been an undisputed starter for a long time in the national team, last night counted the second consecutive match that Sylvinho did not prefer after the one against Andorra.
