It is now confirmed that forward Ardit Nikaj will be sidelined for an extended period with Skënderbeu due to an injury that will keep him off the field for about four months. The Korçars had consolidated their attack with Nikaj in a 4-3-3 formation.
Now, the Skënderbeu staff is considering how to address this situation. According to the coach’s statements, there is a strong possibility of finding a direct replacement; Balaj could take on Nikaj’s role, or other forwards like Tayo might step in, or there could be a shift with Bismark.
However, a switch to a 4-4-2 formation isn’t favored by Gvozdenoviç. All options will be evaluated in the coming days, and it’s likely that a decision will be made ahead of Saturday’s match in Elbasan.
