Serbia select squad for Ireland test

-

SERBIAN coach Slavoljub Muslin says Ireland are the ‘most serious opponents’ they will face in their World Cup campaign.

But he has set his players a sixpoint target for their September double-header which includes a home game with Moldova before the trip to Dublin.

Muslin has recalled Torino striker Adem Ljajic to his squad after a spell in the wilderness. Manchester United new boy Nemanja Matic is one yellow card away from a ban so will have to behave himself against the Moldovans.

Crystal Palace midfielder Luka Milivojevi­c and first-choice goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic miss that game due to bans.
