Saturn duo missing for Moldova

Andrian Sosnovschi and Serghey Rogaciov are absent from Moldova's squad to face Georgia on 12 February.

Defender Andrian Sosnovschi and striker Serghey Rogaciov were the key absentees as Moldova named their squad to face Georgia on 12 February.

Strongest squad
Victor Pasulko has chosen to select all his strongest players for the friendly game, unlike Georgia's Alexander Chivadze, who has given some of his first-choice players a well-deserved rest.

Absent players
However, Moldova will still be without Sosnovschi and Rogaciov from FC Saturn Moskovskaya Oblast, who did not travel to the previous friendly either. The reasons behind their absence was not revealed.

Dadu called up
Young FC Sheriff Tiraspol striker and Divizia Nationala top scorer Serghey Dadu will join the national team again, earning himself a chance to win a second cap and establish himself as a regular.

Famous game
A friendly game against Georgia in 1991, before both countries became UEFA and FIFA affiliates, was the beginning of Moldova's history as an independent footballing nation. The sides have subsequently played each other four more times in official matches with each side winning twice.

Moldova squad
Hmaruc, Bogdan, Pusca, Catinsus, Olexici , Priganiuc, Rebeja, Covalenco, Boret, Covalciuc, Ivanov, Cebotari, Patula, Golban, Frunza, Clescenco, Dadu
