At the airport in Otopeni, Ștefan Târnovanu, the goalkeeper suspended after the elimination from the match with Basel, score 1-3, was with the lot. Although he will not be able to perform, Târnovanu will accompany the team to Serbia, supporting his colleagues in the stands.

Another important presence was Florin Cernat, the new sports director of FCSB, who thus makes his first European trip in this capacity.

The former midfielder, who previously held this position at FC Voluntari, was caught talking at length with Mihai Stoica, a sign of direct collaboration with the president of the club’s Board of Directors.

On the absentee list are Denis Alibec and Vlad Chiricheș, both injured, as well as David Kiki. At the same time, Alexandru Stoian and Mihai Toma stayed at home to perform with the U19 team in the match against Akademia Puskas in the Youth League.

Gigi Becali has announced the composition of FCSB’s starting team for the match with Red Star Belgrade, giving fans the first hints about the strategy for the Europa League duel.

We will play with Lixandru and Šut in the middle, two defenders. I’m playing with two closers to see which one is better for the championship, I’m checking now. You know, you don’t even have others. They know who I am.

In attack will be Miculescu, Olaru, Thiam and Bîrligea. Tănase and Cisotti will be rested. They are players I need in the championship. Alibec will be the starter when Şumi comes to us”, said Gigi Becali, according to Fanatik.
