Good news for Silvinjo, the national team striker recovers. Ready for the

At a time when there are rumors of numerous injuries, Albania coach Silvinjo has received good news from Russia. Mirlind Daku has left his problems behind and returned to the field, bringing peace to the Rossoneri's technical staff.

After several days of uncertainty about his physical condition, Daku was activated in Rubin Kazan's latest friendly, which took place in Antalya, Turkey, against the North Korean national team. The Albanian striker had suffered an injury in the previous friendly match against Neftçi Baku, but fortunately, the sprained ankle did not prove to be a major problem.

Rubin Kazan coach Rashid Rahimov activated the 26-year-old in this match, showing that Daku is ready to continue the season. Despite not being able to score, the fact that he played a good part of the match confirms that his injury has not left serious consequences. However, Rubin Kazan did not have a good day on the field, losing 1-4 to the North Korean team.

It is hoped that Daku will no longer have any physical concerns, as Rubin Kazan has two more friendlies planned in Antalya before the official season resumes in the Russian Premier League. His club's first match of the championship will take place on March 1 against Akhmat Grozny, an important duel to determine the team's objectives for the rest of the season.

On a personal level, the Albanian striker has had a very positive run this season, scoring 9 goals and providing 5 assists in the first 17 matches of the Russian championship. His performance has attracted the attention of several clubs, but for now, he will continue to be part of Rubin Kazan until the end of the season, when his contract expires.

Although Daku is a key player for Rubin Kazan, coach Rahimov admitted in an interview with Maç television that it will be difficult to keep him in the team for long. With his excellent form and growing interest from other clubs, it is possible that he will leave in the summer if an agreement is not reached for a contract renewal.

For now, Daku's focus remains on his full recovery and the contribution he can make to his team for the remainder of the season. But, at the same time, this is also a positive development for the Albanian national team, which needs full options in the attack department ahead of upcoming international commitments.
