Macedonia U21 has called up 19 players for the road friendly against their Slovenian counterparts on March 30.

Manager Blagoja Milevski kept much of his squad unchanged, aside from the fact that three players were promoted to the senior national team, from the prior matches. The U21 squad has won the prior two friendlies, vs. Romania and Montenegro, and will look to make it three in a row when they take on Slovenia later this month.

The three regulars that are missing are defender Darko Velkovski, midfielder Enis Bardi and attacker Marjan Radeski. Those three were rewarded with a call-up to the senior national team. However, from the 19 players called up, this is still a solid team that features 10 players that are based abroad. Guys like Dejan Iliev and Hristijan Denkovski return after missing the previous friendlies with injuries.
