Jankauskas gets Lithuania recall

Lithuania's most celebrated player Edgaras Jankauskas has returned to the national team squad for the upcoming UEFA EURO 2008™ qualifiers against Scotland and the Faroe Islands on 8 and 12 September.

National record
Omitted for the recent 2-1 friendly win against Turkmenistan as he looked for a new club, Jankauskas has returned to Algimantas Liubinskas's ranks after signing a contract with Cypriot side AEK Larnaca FC. Tomas Zvirgzdauskas of Halmstads BK also returns after being rested for the Turkmenistan game while Mindaugas Kalonas receives a call-up after joining Russian top-flight side FC Kuban Krasnodar from Latvia's SK Liepajas Metalurgs. Tomas Danilevicius, who scored both goals against Turkmenistan, is now just two goals short of Antanas Lingys' all-time record of 12 goals for the national team, while Jankauskas is one goal further behind him.
