Partizan may lose the main attacker, Kristian Mba, for a few weeks. The injury that the Nigerian suffered at the end of the first half of the match against Valmiera in Latvia worried the technical staff a lot, but then came the reversal of the result and everything was forgotten there. However, after the team's return to Tirana, the medical staff was immediately engaged to once again check the situation of the Nigerian attacker.

"Panorama Sport" learns that today the 23-year-old will undergo a magnetic resonance imaging to determine the extent of the injury. Doubts about a problem in the abdominal muscles are present, while the player himself is said to have not been able to understand well the blockage he had at the end of the first half. Yesterday, Mba did not train and in all likelihood he will miss the return match against Valmiera, which will be played on August 17 in Elbasan. However, in the red club they will wait for the response of the resonance and then the doctors will decide on the activation of the striker, as it remains to be seen how long the rehabilitation period can last.

"TANGLE" - The UEFA regulation for cards from one competition to another makes a mess for the red club for two of the starters, the left defender, David Atanaskoski and the midfielder Adnard Mehmeti. Both were punished with a yellow card in the match against Valmiera and based on the calculations made by the club, they should miss the next meeting. However, there is no official confirmation of the very fact that they have been punished in both competitions: the Champions League and the Conference League, so for one of them there may be hope that he will not be suspended. It is expected that the club will confirm through UEFA during the following hours the situation with the two starters who have received three yellow cards each.
