Dobra Gets First Albania U21s Call - Ipswich Town News

Town forward Armando Dobra has been named in the Albanian U21 squad for the first time ahead of their European Championships qualifier with Kosovo.

The Albanian youngsters, who are fourth in their qualifying group, face the Kosovans away on Friday 27th March, having won the reverse fixture 2-1 in October.

Dobra, 18, who has previously won seven caps at U19 level, will meet up with the squad following Town’s game against Portsmouth.

The Londoner, who has so far rebuffed Town's offer of a new contract with his current Blues deal up in the summer but with the club having an option for a further year, scored a wonder goal for the U23s as they drew 1-1 at Cardiff on Monday.
