Serbia and Montenegro coach Ilija Petkovic has included uncapped Red Star Belgrade defenders Dragan Sarac and Milan Dudic in his squad for the Euro 2004 qualifier against Wales in Cardiff on Saturday.

The pair earned their call-ups after impressive displays for Red Star in the domestic league and the UEFA Cup in the past few weeks.

Serbia and Montenegro, on nine points, are out of contention in Group Nine but Saturday's game is of significance to Wales, who are second on 13 points, one less than leaders Italy.

Petkovic, who has achieved a win over Wales and a draw against Italy since taking over from Dejan Savicevic in July, left out several experienced players and will test some youngsters with a view to the next World Cup qualifying campaign.

Dejan Stefanovic, Mladen Krstajic, Predrag Djordjevic and Igor Duljaj have all been given a weekend off to make way for an experimental side at the Millennium Stadium. Ticketmaster

Emerging striker Danijel Ljuboja, yet to make his full debut, could be preferred to Mateja Kezman, whose goal drought for the national team has been in sharp contrast with his prolific scoring record for his Dutch club PSV Eindhoven.
