Alarm sirens should start sounding for the Albanian national football team staff, a few weeks before the red and blacks gather for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against England and Andorra, after Berat Gjimshiti left the field injured today in Atalanta's league match against Empoli.
While the one who should be his partner in the red and black defense, Ardian Ismajli, continues to be out due to physical problems and today watched the match as a spectator, Gjimshiti was a starter for the Bergamo team and also recorded an assist for the goal of the temporary score 2-0.
But in the second half, after more than an hour of play, he signaled that he had problems with his left ankle and could not continue, having aggravated an injury he had suffered in the first half of the match. Thus, Gasperini removed him from the field, with the defender coming out limping and clearly distressed by the situation.
