Would they be included if Matjaž Kek had not reached an agreement with Milenko Aćimović? Apparently, it’s not impossible. At least that’s what Kek says, who presented the squad for the friendly matches against Malta and Portugal to the public at Brdo pri Kranju. Kek revealed that some players are on standby, including forward Luka Zahović, who has been a regular member of the Slovenian national team.
In addition to Luka Zahović, players on standby include Klemen Zaletel, Miha Zajc, Dejan Petrovič, and David Zec. Also in the thoughts of the senior national team coach were young talents Adrian Zeljković, Nejc Gradišar, and Srđan Kuzmić. However, the coach left them to Milenko Aćimović, the coach of the Slovenian national team under 21 years.
“According to the agreement with him, they will play for the under-21 national team this time, which has an important match against Bosnia and Herzegovina. But these are players I will undoubtedly consider in the future,” emphasized the 62-year-old Slovenian coach.
