Partizan have begun preparations for the match against Dinamo, on Monday at the “Air Albania” stadium, with the challenge scheduled to start at 19:00. The reds and blues face off at a delicate moment of the season, as they duel for fourth place and currently have 39 points each. In this match, Partizan and coach Oltijon Kërnaja will suffer the absence of Saliu Sembene.

The defender, who was booked with a yellow card in the match against Egnatia, thus completing the number four of yellow cards, will only be able to watch this match with Dinamo from the stands as a spectator. However, the absence of Sembene is a concern not to be underestimated in the ranks of the capital, given that this season the Senegalese player has become a regular player in the defensive department, taking on many responsibilities in the back. Thanks to his physique and presence in the area, Sembene manages to neutralize many attacks by opponents, giving peace of mind to the technical staff.

This season, the 24-year-old has made 17 appearances in the Premier League with the Reds, while he has been active in three Cup matches and in two appearances in the Conference League qualifiers at the start of the season.

Now, the technical staff led by coach Oltijon Kërnaja will have to think about Sembene's replacement, while in "Pole Position" for this role is Andi Janjeva, who has been tested these days to take on the role of the Senegalese. The 23-year-old has had an ups and downs season, suffering physical problems, however, in a very important and decisive match for the fate of the season, he may have the opportunity to show his potential and reveal his values. Although until the last training session, that of Sunday, nothing will be guaranteed regarding the formation, coach Kërnaja will wait until the end to crystallize the 11 with which he will challenge Dinamo.
