Croatia NT 2013

    Roster for ECH qualies, WCH qualies and EL


    Setters: Zhoukouski (Ravenna), Močić (Al Rayyan, QAT)
    OPP: Omrčen* (JT Thunders, JPN), Ćuk* (KEPCO 45, KOR), Raič (Ethnikos Alexandroupolis, GRE)
    OH's: Sikirić (Berlin RV), Kovačević ( Foinikas Syrou), Galić (Kazma, KUW), Nojić (Mladost Zagreb)
    MB's: Vulin (last season Ajaccio), Mihalj (Hypo Tirol Innsbruck), Ćosić (Cambrai, FRA), Sabljak (Nice)
    Libero: Zimakijević (Mladost Zagreb), Šarčević (KoVe, FIN)


    * Omrčen won't play this summer due back surgery while Ćuk is getting married and surely will miss matches vs Slovania and probably WCH qualies.


    Except these 2 and Sikirić others were playing regulary. Our chances to qualify for ECH dramatically dropped after Omrčen's injury. Ćuk wasn't called in camp in Rovinj because coach said he needs only 100% concentrated players. Raič is only opposite, he is talented but can't lead team yet. Good thing is we'll play EL

    More bad news for Croatia ;( Roko Sikirić withdrawn from squad due injury, Toni Kovačević have groin injury and will be sidelined for next 2 weeks. That means he won't play in WCH qualies in Zagreb (The Netherlands, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Azerbaijan) while his presence for ECH qualies vs Slovenia coach rated as 50-50. Ivan Mihalj also has problems with injury but should be fit till the end of week but Danijel Galić is coming today from Kuwait.


    After all these problems we can't do anything in WCH or ECH qualies. I had a feeling we can surprise Slovenia and book ticket for Poland and Denmark and use home field advantage in WCH qualies. Especially after beating The Netherlands in OG qualies.
