Sturm player forced to pull out of Franco Foda's squad
The SK Sturm Graz player will miss Kosovo's upcoming international matches, though it is not a long-term issue.
Former ÖFB head coach Franco Foda takes on Israel and Ireland in Austria's UEFA Nations League group during the upcoming international break. Currently sitting second with five points, all scenarios remain possible. Austria (8) lead the group, with Ireland (5) and Israel (2) trailing Kosovo.
The former Sturm title-winning manager will now have to do without Sturm Graz's Valmir Matoshi (23), as the Kosovar player has pulled out due to injury, it was announced at a Kosovo press conference.
The 23-year-old has played through pain in recent weeks and wants to use the international break to recover fully. It is not a long-term issue.
