On June 7 at the "National Arena" in Tirana, Albania will face Serbia in the third match of Group K qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, which will be played in the USA and Mexico.
After the loss to England and the victory with Andorra, the red and black boys will play for victory against Serbia, a very emotionally charged challenge due to history and that dramatic match in Belgrade, valid for Euro 2016.
With 18 days left until this match, Serbia national team coach Dragan Stojkovic has published the preliminary list of players he will have available.
What is striking is that Stojkovic has gathered 29 players, but two well-known names are missing from this list, Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinković-Savic and his brother, Al Hilal midfielder Sergej Milinković-Savic.
LIST:
Goalkeepers: Predrag Rajkovic, Gjorge Petrovic, Aleksandar Jovanovic, Dragan Rosic.
Defense: Nikola Milenkovic, Strahinja Pavlovic, Strahinja Erakovic, Srđan Babić, Nemanja Stojić, Jan Karlo Simić, Aleksa Terzić, Kosta Nedeljkovic.
Midfield: Sasha Lukic, Nemanja Gudelj, Nemanja Maksimovic, Andrija Zivkovic, Ivan Ilic, Lazar Samardzic, Aleksandar Katai, Uroš Racic, Stefan Mitrovic, Mirko Topic, Andrija Maksimovic, Petar Stanic, Milutin Vidosavljevic.
