Montenegro suffered a blow before the 2016 European Championship qualifying rounds match against Moldova that will be played this evening, September 8. The fittest player of Montenegro Stevan Jovetic sustained injury and will not play in the duel against Moldova.

Besides the Manchester City striker, the national team of Montenegro will also not include Nikola Drincic and Marko Basha. “It’s hard to believe that these three players will be unable to take part in the encounter with Moldova. We had too much bad luck lately. However, we do not imagine we could lose to Moldova. We are confident that we will win,” Montenegro coach Branko Brnovic told a news conference.

“It will be a failure if we do not beat Moldova. We want to qualify for the final tournament that will be played in France,” added Mirko Vucinic, the best scorer of the national team of Montenegro in its history.

The game between Montenegro and Moldova will take place in Podgorica on September 8, starting at 9:45pm, Moldova’s time.
