Toch lijkt het er sterk op dat doelman Arijanet Muric, die woensdag de groepstraining hervatte, zaterdag tegenDe Graafschap zijn entree maakt. ,,Het ziet er positief uit, hij is fit. Nu kijken of hij geen terugslag krijgt." Het inbrengen van Muric, die hersteld is van zijn blessure, gaat ten koste vanMark Birighitti die op weg is naar de uitgang
Muric wordt door NAC voor een seizoen gehuurd van Manchester City en wordt beschouwd als de opvolger van de vertrokkenNigel Bertrams. De 19-jarige Muric, een boom van een vent getuige zijn lengte van 1.98-meter, is geboren in Zürich en in het bezit van een Zwitsers en een Montenegrijns paspoort. [...] Tot op heden speelde Muric enkel jeugdwedstrijden voor Manchester City, dat hem in 2016 overnam van Grasshopper. Ondanks dat hij een leven lang in Zwitserland woonde, maakte Muric eind 2017 zijn debuut voor het nationale jeugdteam (onder 21) van Montenegro. Muric gaat spelen met nummer 1, door NAC speciaal vrijgehouden voor de goalie
NAC startte met Arijanet Muric op doel. De negentienjarige keeper die wordt wordt gehuurd van Manchester City, kon vorige week nog niet spelen
