The "injured" partisan, the reds also have two starters injured

Injuries and Partizan in this season seem to be two parallels to each other. In the last few weeks, it was thought that the marathon of players with physical problems was over at the Reds and almost everyone was returning to proper physical form, but things changed just a few days ago, when the injuries of Eljon Sota and Alban Hoxha were announced. These two players are not the only ones in the hospital, as two more injuries have been added to the list this week.

It is learned that Paulo Buxhelaj has also suffered an injury and is expected to miss the next match against Erzen, on Saturday at 19:00 at the "Partizani" stadium.

The left back has not trained in the last two days and his recovery time does not look promising at all. Thus, Buxhelaj is expected to be the second defender to join the absentee list, after Sota.

There are also problems in the midfield, where Valentino Murataj has shown physical discomfort and yesterday he did not train with the team, but only engaged in exercises in the gym.

Unlike Buxhelaj, his situation is somewhat more optimistic, but it remains to be seen if he will manage to be ready for Erzen.

Murataj is one of the most stable players in Kolela's formation and there are not many alternatives on the bench. The Reds' doctors will try to recover him in time for the challenge with Erzen.

As for Hoxha and Sota, the situation has changed for the guard. Sota has not trained with the team all these days and it is almost certain that he will be absent against Erzen, but Hoxha seems to have managed to recover quickly and there is a chance that he will be ready for Saturday's match.

The 35-year-old's muscle responses have been positive and this has increased optimism for the captain's recovery.

Hoxha is still a very important element in the defensive, especially in the situation when this department lacks experienced players with the leader's DNA.
