Maldini Kacurri has been named in the Albania U21 national team squad for their upcoming international friendlies.

The Mariners defender will join up with the Albania U21 squad during the November international window as they prepare for two fixtures.

Albania will face Luxembourg U21s on Friday 13th November, before taking on Spain U21s on Tuesday 17th November, with both matches scheduled to kick off at 6pm.

The 21-year-old will miss the Jersey Mike’s EFL Trophy fixture against Nottingham Forest U21s at Blundell Park, and the away league fixture at Swindon Town.

Everyone at Grimsby Town would like to congratulate Maldini on his selection and wish him the very best of luck while representing his country.
