The capital derby is approaching and Partizan has chosen to prepare away from the media spotlight. The Reds are isolated in Cërrik, where they will hold their last training session before the match against Tirana. Coach Florin Bratu is asking for calm and maximum concentration, while a major question mark remains the physical condition of Xhuliano Skuka.
Partizan chooses isolation before one of the most important matches of the season. The red team has moved to Cërrik, where it will remain focused until the capital derby with Tirana. Even the last training session, scheduled for today, will take place there. A decision by coach Florin Bratu, who aims to remove the team from media pressure and the attention of the fans, to give the group the necessary calm on the eve of a match where the result and pride have special weight.
However, beyond the preparations and strategy for the derby, Partizan's attention is also focused on the physical condition of Xhuliano Skuka. One of the most important players of the Reds, he is still unable to contribute to the team at this start of the championship. First, the adaptation to the new coach and then the nightmare of an old finger injury, which continues to bother the striker even after his reintegration into the group. Skuka is in a race against time, but his participation is uncertain. At the moment, the chances of him being on the field are estimated at 50 to 50, leaving the final decision related to his condition in the last hours before the match.
For coach Bratu, Skuka's presence would be a significant plus in such a challenge, but Partizan must also prepare for the possibility of not having one of the main weapons of the offensive department at their disposal. The derby is approaching and the Reds are trying to maintain calm, while the Skuka dilemma remains one of the main issues before the match against Tirana.
