Serbia coach Dušan Alimpijević named a 12-man squad for Friday's World Cup qualifier against Iceland, with five players unavailable: Nikola Đurišić (injured), Nikola Džepina, Mihailo Petrović, Dušan Ristić and Luka Mitrović. Nikola Jokić leads the team.
What it means
- Five players out: Đurišić (injury), Džepina, Petrović, Ristić, Mitrović
- Nikola Jokić, Nikola Milutinov and Aleksa Avramović headline the 12-man roster
- Serbia host Iceland in Belgrade on Friday, opening the main round of World Cup qualifying
Model read
Serbia are notably weakened with five regulars missing, but the core led by Jokić remains strong, so the impact on the result is moderate — they should still be heavy favourites at home.
