Team News: Ventsislav Hristov on bench for Dinamo Zagreb tie

Hristov on bench for Dinamo Zagreb tie

Ventsislav Hristov has been named among the substitutes for Skenderbeu Korce as they embark on their first Champions League third-round qualifier against Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb.

The Bulgarian forward scored in the first leg of their 6-4 victory over Crusaders in the last round, but was benched for the return leg at Seaview and is among the subs again for the hosts.

However, coach Mirel Josa has kept faith with Albanian international Hamdi Salihi, who scored in both legs against the Northern Irish side.

Meanwhile, Dinamo boss Zoran Mamic has retained Marko Pjaca in his starting lineup after the 20-year-old netted a brace against Fola.

He is joined in attack by Marko Rog, who also scored in the 3-0 second-leg victory over the Luxembourg outfit.

Skenderbeu Korce: Shehi, Jashanica, Vangjeli, Radas, Nimanga, Latifi, Esquerdinha, Lilai, Shkembi, Salihi, Berisha

Dinamo Zagreb: Eduardo, Pinto, Sigali, Taravel, Machado, Santos, Pivaric, Rog, Soudani, Hodzic, Pjaca
