Latvia-Albania, match without captain

Latvia-Albania, match without captain

The match between Latvia and Albania, valid for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, will be special, as both teams will take to the field tomorrow without their captains.

The coach of the Latvian national team, Paolo Nikolato, revealed at today's media conference that captain Kristers Tobers would be missing from his team's ranks in tomorrow's match.

 The defensive midfielder was injured and was on the bench in the friendly match against Azerbaijan, without being activated.

He has not recovered in time, so the footballer, who is active with Aberdeen in Scotland, will be a spectator in Tuesday's match. The captain's armband for this challenge has been entrusted to Antonijs Chernomordis.

Meanwhile, Albania is already aware of the absence of Berat Gjimshiti, who has completed the number of yellow cards in the match against Serbia and cannot face the Latvians.
