Espanyol's center-back, Marash Kumbulla, will remain in Barcelona, so he will not join Albania's squad during this international break. With the confirmation of this decision, it has been avoided that the defender travels while still under medical care for the Nations League matches against Ukraine and the Czech Republic.

The call-up of the Perico's central defender by Albania was surprising, given that he got injured in the derby against FC Barcelona. Marash Kumbulla suffered a muscular injury in the pectineus of his left leg and was ruled out for the match against Valencia CF, which was postponed due to the DANA. Finally, he will continue his recovery process in Barcelona under the club's medical team's supervision. This Monday, the Albanian defender visited the CE Dani Jarque to continue with his rehabilitation.

The coach Sylvinho wanted Kumbulla to join the expedition and complete part of his recovery with Albania. However, Espanyol has prioritized the player's health and has managed to keep him in Barcelona. The center-back did not take part in the training session last Saturday at the RCDE Stadium because the club prefers not to risk a key player for Manolo González and the blanquiazul defense.
