Andrej Stojchevski out with groin injury — sidelined 4 to 6 weeks
The Slovácko defender will miss North Macedonia’s UEFA Nations League matches on 13 and 16 November 2026 due to a groin problem.
Defender Andrej Stojchevski has suffered a groin injury and faces a recovery period of around four to six weeks, which will rule him out of North Macedonia's upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures in November 2026.
Impact on the national squad
Stojchevski, who plays for Slovácko, sustained the injury and will therefore be unavailable for the squad that coach Goce Sedloski will select for the matches against Scotland (away) on 13 November 2026 and Slovenia (home) on 16 November 2026.
The absence removes one defensive option from Sedloski's pool as the team prepares for the November cycle of the Nations League.
Stojchevski participated in the previous Nations League cycle, when the national team, under Sedloski's leadership, recorded four defeats and failed to score a goal across those four matches.
The medical prognosis sets the estimated sidelined period at about 4–6 weeks, after which the player will be reassessed to determine his readiness to return to club and international duty.
