'He can put you in danger' - verdict on Nottingham Forest's Aro Muric by Kosovo boss

Kosovo manager Bernard Challande admits Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Arijanet Muric is a player who can “put you in danger”.

But he has praised the 20-year-old for being a “very modern goalkeeper” as he looks to shine against England.

Muric has been central to his country’s 15-match unbeaten run which stretches back to 2017.

He helped them beat Czech Republic 2-1 at the weekend and is likely to start again this evening in the Euro 2020 qualifier against the Three Lions at Southampton’s St Mary’s ground.

“I like goalkeepers who take risks,” Challande told the Daily Mail.

“He is not perfect and he can put you in danger but three or four other times he came for the ball and collected it.

“That is very important for us against tall players. He is a very modern goalkeeper.”

Muric’s teammate Bersant Celina added: “Against the Czechs they threw balls into the box towards the end and he (Muric) caught them. And he made two great saves as well.”

Muric is on loan at the City Ground from Manchester City and has played four games in the Garibaldi, losing out to Brice Samba between the posts in the last two league matches.

Kosovo are second, behind England, in the Group A table, but would overtake Gareth Southgate’s side with a win tonight.
