Serbia Name Squad For Northern Ireland And South Korea Tests

Serbia have named a 22-man squad for two friendly matches against Northern Ireland in Belfast on Saturday and South Korea in London on November 18.

Coach Radomir Antic has called up uncapped goalkeeper Zeljko Brkic who replaces usual back-up stopper Vladimir Disljenkovic.

"All 22 players will get a chance over the two games and we will try out different formations and strategies as we start our build-up for next year's World Cup finals in South Africa," Antic said according to Reuters.

"Northern Ireland and South Korea have very contrasting styles and the matches with them will be a good opportunity for my players to keep learning and adapt to all kinds of tactics."

Like South Korea, Serbia have qualified for the 2010 World Cup, finishing above France.
