Optimistic Montenegro name unchanged squad

Coach Zlatko Kranjčar has named a 23-man squad for Montenegro's UEFA EURO 2012 Group G matches against Switzerland on 8 October in Podgorica and England four days later at Wembley.

Kranjčar made no changes from the selection that made a great start in UEFA EURO 2012 Group G with 1-0 wins against Wales and Bulgaria. ACF Fiorentina playmaker Stevan Jovetić, FC Spartak Moskva midfielder Nikola Drinčić and AC Cesena midfielder Ivan Fatić remain absent through injury.

"We made a great start and we want to continue that way," said the Croatian coach. "We will face strong teams, but we have shown that we are strong too. The most important is to have a big desire for against Switzerland, but at the same time not to feel under any kind of pressure. I think the pressure is on Switzerland, not us."
