Belgrade, March 23 - A list of Yugoslavia's players for decisive under-21 European Championship qualifier against England in Barcelona on March 29 was announced today in Belgrade.

S Q U A D

GOALKEEPERS: Vladan Kujovic (Aalst, Belgium), Vlada Avramov (Vojvodina, Novi Sad), Zoran Vaskovic (Radnicki Nis).

DEFENDERS: Ivan Dudic (Red Star Belgrade), Nenad Dzodic (Montpellier, France), Nenad Lalatovic (Red Star Belgrade), Milan Obradovic (Obilic Belgrade), Nikola Jolovic (Zemun), Jovan Tanasijevic (Vojvodina Novi Sad), Igor Duljaj (Partizan Belgrade), Mirko Aleksic (Obilic Belgrade), Ivan Vukomanovic (Red Star Belgrade).

MIDFIELDERS: Ardijan Djokaj (Mallorca, Spain), Branko Boskovic (Red Star Belgrade), Ilija Stolica (Zemun), Nikola Lazetic (Obilic Belgrade), Radovan Krivokapic (Vojvodina Novi Sad), Dejan Stankovic (Lazio, Italy), Aleksandar Nedovic (Buducnost Podgorica).

FORWARDS: Velimir Ivanovic (Larissa, Greece), Mateja Kezman (Partizan Belgrade), Ivica Ilijev (Partizan Belgrade).

The match, originally due over two legs last year, was moved to Barcelona because of the European Union's ban on international flights to Yugoslavia.

Dusan Savic, assistant of coach Milovan Djoric, emphasized that England is the favorites to win but said Yugoslavia could make surprise.

"They are a great team, but their last line of defence is slow. I believe our forwards will be able to exploit that weakness," he said.

Coach Milovan Djoric has left Partizan Belgrade's Sasa Ilic and Vladimir Ivic out of Yugoslavia's decisive under-21 European Championship qualifier. Atletico Madrid's Veljko Paunovic will also miss the match through the injury.
