Outside Broja, Maran returns the "exiled" from Sylvinho: debutant and surprise in the 29th selection for the Nations League

A list destined to create debate, both for the decisions to leave out some players, as well as for the debuts, or sensational comebacks made by coach Rolando Maran. The Italian announced the list for the four UEFA Nations League matches, with two debutants, comebacks to the team, but also the omission of Armando Broja, given that for 3 years the player has been a shadow of his former self.

National team coach Rolando Maran has released the list of 29 players for these challenges. The list also includes two names who receive their first call-up to the national team, Hearts midfielder Sabah Kerjota and Union Brescia defender Samuele Sina.

Meanwhile, Rey Manaj, Ernest Muçi and Marash Kumbulla return to the team after being absent due to injuries. Goalkeeper Etrit Berisha is also on the list, returning to be part of the national team group.
