Manager Jürgen Henn has selected a roster of 25 players for Estonia’s last two group matches in the UEFA Nations League. Currently holding second place in their group with six points following four matches, the Estonian team travels to face Luxembourg on November 13 before returning home to play Bulgaria at the A. Le Coq Arena on November 16. Local Estonian time for these matches is set for 21:45 and 19:00 respectively.
A total of five players—Rauno Sappinen, Vlasiy Sinyavskiy, Märten Kuusk, Markus Soomets, and Robi Saarma—cannot participate due to medical issues. Additionally, Soufian Gouram has chosen to accept an invitation to play for the German youth setup. To represent Germany, he is required to change his football nationality, meaning a return to the Estonian team would only be possible if he ultimately does not feature for the German squad following this transition. The 20-year-old central midfielder, who currently plays for Hertha Berlin in the second division of German football, has previously played for Estonia at various youth levels.
The full roster consists of goalkeepers Karl Jakob Hein, Matvei Igonen, and Karl Andre Vallner. The defensive line features Karol Mets, Maksim Paskotši, Rasmus Peetson, Frank Liivak, Michael Schjønning-Larsen, Joseph Saliste, Erko Jonne Tõugjas, Tanel Tammik, Mihhail Kolobov, and Nikita Mihhailov. Midfield options include Mattias Käit, Martin Miller, Markus Poom, Mihkel Ainsalu, Rocco Robert Shein, Kevor Palumets, Vladislav Kreida, Patrik Kristal, and Maksimilian Skvortsov. Finally, the forwards named are Karel Mustmaa, Mattias Männilaan, alongside the surprising early comeback of Marten-Chris Paalberg.
