Published: March 10, 2018
On Saturday March 10, Serbia National Team coach Mladen Krstajic announced a 24-player roster for his side's upcoming friendlies against Morocco (March 23) and Nigeria (March 27).
The 27-year-old Red Star Belgrade central defender Vujadin Savic is in line to make his international debut for Serbia in one of the games against the African countries as he has been handed a maiden call-up to the senior team.
Headlining the squad is Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic, part of a four-man British-based contingent that also includes Marko Grujic (Cardiff), Dusan Tadic (Southampton) and Aleksandar Mitrovic (Fulham).
The influential ex-Manchester City left-back now at Roma, Aleksandar Kolarov, has also been invited, and could face his old teammate at The Citizens Kelechi Iheanacho, who has been named to the Nigerian roster.
Eddy Onazi would be looking forward to meeting his former teammate at Lazio, Sergei Milinkovic-Savic, while Torino's Adem Ljajic also made the squad list.
Nigeria face Serbia at the Hive Stadium in London four days after their friendly against Poland.
