Pasulko drops two, adds two

Moldova coach Viktor Pasulko has named the following 18-man squad for Saturday's EURO 2004™ qualifier against the Czech Republic.

Players dropped
Pasulko is hoping his side can bounce back from a 2-0 defeat by Austria in their opening match last month. Victor Berco from FC Shinnik Yaroslavl and Evgheny Boicenco of FC Zimbru Chisinau have been dropped, but midfield players Serghey Covalciuc and Ghenadie Pusca are available again.

Veber appointed
Meanwhile, Moldova have also made a change to their coaching staff. Vladimir Veber has been appointed to take responsibility of the national team's goalkeepers.

Moldova squad:
Hmaruc, Bogdan, Covalenco, Catinsus, Budanov, Olexici, Pusca, Cebotari, Priganiuc, Sosnovschi, Ivanov, Boret, Rebeja, Covaliciuc, Rogaciov, Clescenco, Golban, Patula.
