Kosovo forward Edon Zhegrova is expected to start from the first minute in the crucial World Cup play-off match against Slovakia, according to the prominent Italian sports newspaper, Tuttosport.
The newspaper highlighted Zhegrova’s importance to the Kosovo national team, noting that his quality on the wing could be decisive for the “Dardanians” in securing a spot in the play-off final.
Tuttosport also cited Italian coach Franco Foda as one of Zhegrova’s biggest admirers, emphasizing that the player’s performance for Kosovo could influence his future at Juventus. “It’s a do-or-die match, and Edon’s quality could make the difference,” the report stated.
The match between Slovakia and Kosovo is scheduled for Thursday at 21:00. Zhegrova’s performances in these two critical games may provide additional insight for Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti, who has long recognized the young forward’s potential.
