International football kicked off on Thursday with several members of our first-team squad involved in friendly action.
Jaka Bijol started for Slovenia in their 2-2 friendly stalemate with Malta, with the defender withdrawn at half time, with his country leading 1-0, as he gradually gets back to full fitness, while Sandi Lovric was an unused substitute.
Lazar Samardzic was brought on in the 73rd minute as Serbia slumped to a 4-0 friendly defeat at the hands of Russia.
Lorenzo Lucca was an unused replacement in Italy’s victory over Venezuela.
