Dobra Withdrawn From Albania U19s - Ipswich Town News
Blues forward Armando Dobra has been withdrawn from international duty with Albania’s U19s having suffered a minor knock in last night’s Leasing.com Trophy victory over Gillingham.
Dobra was due to fly out today to join up with the Albanian squad for a friendly against Poland on Monday 14th October having come on as a half-time substitute in last night's game, but has stayed behind and watched this afternoon's U23s victory over Bolton at Playford Road.
The 19-year-old, who also qualifies to play international football for England and Kosovo, has won four U19s caps for Albania.
Dobra's withdrawal means the only Town players away during the international break are Alan Judge with the Republic of Ireland, Anthony Georgiou with Cyprus, Flynn Downes and Andre Dozzell with England's U20s and Adam Przybek with the Wales U21s.
