Albania defender Ardian Ismajli is expected to miss the October 11 match against Serbia in Leskovac, a 2026 World Cup qualifier. Ismajli injured himself during Torino’s 2-1 Serie A loss to Parma. He left the field after 77 minutes, reporting a muscle strain.
Medical tests confirmed a muscular injury, and Italian media report he may be sidelined for at least a month. This makes it almost impossible for him to recover in time for the Serbia clash. Marash Kumbulla will also miss the match after sustaining an injury with Mallorca last week.
Good news comes for midfielder Juljan Shehu, who has fully recovered and is ready to play. The Serbia vs. Albania match in Leskovac takes place on October 11 as part of Group K qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
