That is why Kasami (not) belongs to the starting eleven against Ukraine

Kasami has definitely earned Nati’s return with good performances in recent months. But should you immediately throw it to the bottom? In a game as important as Ukraine? No.

Let’s not forget: Kasami played the last of his twelve internationals four and a half years ago. Much has changed in the national team since then. The team has been greatly rejuvenated and Petkovic can play on a new system.

Since Kasami’s last appearance at Nati, many other central midfielders have been called up: Danis Zakaria, Edimilson Fernandes, Djibril Sow, Michel Aebischer, Anto Grgic, Simon Sohm and Remo Freuler.

The latter is now a fixture in the national team, but does not face Ukraine. That is why Kasami was later nominated. The FCB professional would undoubtedly be an option to fill the gap alongside Xhaka in central midfield.

But Petkovic would do well to trust a player who has been around for a long time and is waiting for his chance. The possibility that now arises from the failure of potential regulars Zakaria and Freuler.

Otherwise, for example, it takes away the sow’s total confidence. He probably would have thought that he could have stayed home if he returned to the hierarchy after Kasami’s belated nomination. Edimilson, who last appeared twice from the right, will definitely want to prove once that he is home in the center.

However, it’s great that Kasami, as a Super League player, of course, was able to fight his way back to the national team. There is also absolutely nothing against a partial deployment against Ukraine.
