Skënderbeu will play its final match of the second phase on Sunday at 16:30 against Bylis, and the atmosphere within the white-and-black camp is optimistic. Skënderbeu must secure nothing less than a victory against the ballshiots—a fact well understood by both coach Ernest Gjoka and the players. Gjoka has been coaching from the sidelines for two matches now, and this will mark his first victory with the white-and-black jersey.
Skënderbeu will play the last two matches of the year at home, first against Bylis this Sunday and then on the following Saturday against Elbasan at the “Skënderbeu” stadium. While the team is focusing solely on the upcoming match with Bylis, coach Ernest Gjoka has significant concerns regarding player suspensions.
Albi Doka is already ruled out this week due to a suspension following a red card against Egnatia. However, more worrying is that six other key players, many of whom are regular starters, risk suspension if they receive a yellow card against Bylis. These players would miss the next game against Elbasan if booked.
Two of these players are in the forward positions—Bismark Charles, who has 7 yellow cards, and Ermir Rashica, another vital attacking player, with 3 yellow cards. Additionally, other key players—Luko Vaskez, Rabiu, Franklin Kamleu, and Krasniqi—each have 3 yellow cards, adding more pressure to the squad.
Given this, Skënderbeu’s situation is becoming more complex daily. The priority for Ernest Gjoka on Sunday will be, first, securing a victory against Bylis and, second, ensuring that the players exercise caution to avoid further yellow cards.
Players at Risk of Suspension:
- Bismark Charles – 7 yellow cards
- Erolind Krasniqi – 3 yellow cards
- Ermir Rashica – 3 yellow cards
- Luko Vaskez – 3 yellow cards
- Mario Rabiu – 3 yellow cards
- Frenklin Kamleu – 3 yellow cards
