Chelsea pair dropped as Serbia cut their World Cup squad to 24
Serbia's coach Radomir Antic today cut his World Cup squad to 24 players with the Chelsea duo of Slobodan Rajkovic and Nemanja Matic two of the six players to be omitted. The Ajax attacker Miralem Sulejmani, PSV Eindhoven's defender Jagos Vukovic, the Partizan Belgrade midfielder Nemanja Tomic and Red Star Belgrade's striker Dejan Lekic will also miss out.
The Valencia forward Nikola Zigic was retained and says he does not feel any extra pressure after being tipped by Antic to be one of the stars in South Africa.
"The coach's words are not a burden," Zigic said. "It's good that Antic praised me and I will try to justify his confidence. I always give my best for Serbia and it will always be that way."
Serbia were drawn in Group D alongside Germany, Ghana and Australia.
