Inter capture
The attack-minded Filkor, his country's Under-19 captain, shot to prominence in his homeland after signing for FC Internazionale Milano a year ago and could now get his first international start against the country where he plies his trade. He has been part of the Inter squad this pre-season, including a prestigious friendly tournament hosted by Arsenal FC last month. Filkor, who made a substitute appearance against Latvia in February, is one of 20 players in Peter Varhidi's squad for the fixture in Budapest that will serve as a warm-up for the Group C qualifying matches at home to Bosnia-Herzegovina and away to Turkey next month.
