SARAJEVO, (Patria) - The Željezničar team departed from Sarajevo Airport for Tallinn, Estonia, where they will stay and train until the match against Narva Trans, which will be played on Thursday at 6 PM.

The Blues will stay at the Radisson Blu Sky hotel, and will hold one training session this evening, while tomorrow's session is scheduled at the match time at the A. Le Coq Arena in Tallinn. Tomorrow, both coaches and team captains will address the media at a press conference.

Those who traveled to Estonia are: Vedran Kjosevski, Irfan Fejzić, Aldin Ćeman – Siniša Stevanović, Aldin Šehić, Adi Mehremić, Antonio Pavić, Kemal Osmanković, Miloš Bakrač, Jadranko Bogičević – Anel Šabanadžović, Haris Hajdarević, Jovan Blagojević, Ivan Čurjurić, Filip Arežina, Semir Dacić, Mladen Veselinović – Asim Zec, Dženan Zajmović, Sulejman Krpić. Due to an adductor injury in his left leg, Stojan Vranješ did not travel to Tallinn.

- The condition in the team is good, we have minor issues, but all players except Vranješ are ready. He hasn't trained for the past seven days due to an adductor injury. Expectations are positive, I think the team has overcome the initial fatigue after strenuous preparations and work.

I know the fans are impatient and that the result is important, even in friendly matches. But not so much for me, because I am new here and I am going through a period of getting to know the players. I think this is now the right time and there are no more alibis or excuses. We are going to Estonia to achieve a good result and give our best, and we will see how much that will be enough - said the head coach, Slobodan Krčmarević.

- As for expectations, we expect a positive result. We are going to win and that is how we will set ourselves up on the pitch. We have analyzed the opponent well and I think we have a good chance to advance - emphasized Filip Arežina.

The match will be played on Thursday at 6 PM, and the return leg is scheduled for July 18 at 6 PM at Grbavica.
