Estonia have picked up three points from their opening four Nations League group matches, thanks to their 3-1 victory at home over Azerbaijan in October. That win leaves them third in Nations League C, Group 1, with Sweden and Slovakia way out in front on 10 points each.

The first of Estonia's upcoming Nations League fixtures against Azerbaijan is likely to prove crucial in determining whether they remain in League C or face potential relegation back to League D. That game kicks off on Saturday, November 16 at 4 p.m. Estonian time at the Gabala City Stadium.

The squad will then head to Slovakia for their final game of the campaign and the calendar year. That match takes place on Tuesday, November 19 in Trnava and kicks off at 9.45 p.m. Estonian time. Both games will be broadcast live on ETV2 here.

Estonian head coach Jürgen Henn will be without left-back Artur Pikk (Odra Opole), midfielder Mattias Käit (Rapid Bucharest) and Flora Tallinn forward Rauno Sappinen, who all miss out with injury.

On Monday it emerged that Märten Kuusk also picked up an injury while with his Polish club GKS Katowice. However, Henn said there is still hope that the central defender could be available. "It will become clear in the next two or three days, at the moment he is still in the squad, because he himself expressed hope," said Henn. "There will be another examination [on his ankle on Tuesday], and then we will know more."
