Emir Sahiti: first at HSV, now left out of the national team | OneFootball

Emir Sahiti currently plays no role at HSV. A similar situation exists for him in the Kosovo national team, although sporting reasons are of less significance.

"Both know the reason why they were not called up to the team this time. I have spoken with both, but this information will not be disclosed to the public," said Franco Foda, coach of Kosovo, during the September international break regarding the absence of Bersant Celina (AIK Solna) and Emir Sahiti. A statement that left interested observers in the dark.

Clarity was provided in recent days by Sahiti himself (via Mopo): "Some players are in the starting lineup for Kosovo, even though they have hardly played for their clubs for months. I play for HSV, a big club, and feel great – but I was on the bench during recent international matches. That's not a problem if it's for sporting reasons. But if I deserve it, I want to play. That's why I explained to the director that I won't come this time."

Sahiti was recently missing from the HSV squad

This likely means the door has closed for the offensive player in the national team. Foda had announced in September that he would seek further dialogue. However, in light of the latest statements from the HSV professional, both sides are unlikely to come to an agreement. Foda reportedly received them with great surprise and bitterness.

His focus will now shift to the upcoming crucial matches against Slovenia and Sweden, where Kosovo aims to keep their World Cup participation hopes alive. Sahiti, on the other hand, will stay in Hamburg and try to reposition himself. After being part of the starting lineup at the beginning of the season, he was recently absent from the squad three times in a row for sporting reasons, which is anything but satisfying for him.
