Team I: Slovenia: Samir Handanoviè Bojan Jokiæ - Bo¹tjan Cesar - Marko ©uler - Mi¹o Breèko Valter Birsa - Robert Koren - Aleksander Radosavljeviè - Andra¾ Kirm Zlatko Dediè - Milivoje Novakoviè Reserves: Branko Iliè Nejc Peènik Rene Krhin Barring injuries, Kek hasn't got much to choose from. Team II: Slovakia: Ján Mucha Marek Èech - Ján Ïurica - Martin ©krtel - Peter Pekarík Miroslav Stoch - Miroslav Karhan - Marek Ham¹ík - Vladimír Weiss Stanislav ©esták - Erik Jendri¹ek Reserves: Radoslav Zabavník Filip Holo¹ko Zdeno ©trba The Slovakian line-up I'm less sure about. ©krtel would need to come back from injury in time while Holo¹ko and Vittek don't.
