Serbia national team coach announces Nations League squad

Serbia national team head coach Veljko Paunović has announced a 28-man squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League campaign. The selection marks a significant period of transition for the team, highlighted by the return of veteran Dušan Tadić to the national side after a long absence.

While the squad includes most regular players, several key figures are missing due to injury, including Aleksandar Mitrović, Predrag Rajković, and Nikola Milenković. Additionally, left-back Aleksa Terzić has been ruled out following a muscle injury confirmed by his club, Frosinone. Paunović also noted that the list is not final and may change due to new UEFA formats allowing for squad adjustments.

Paunović emphasized the need for a ‘healing process’ within Serbian football, aiming to align public expectations with the team's current capabilities. The squad will face a demanding schedule, starting with home matches against Greece and the Netherlands in Belgrade, followed by away fixtures against Germany and the Netherlands.
