"Another player from the main lineup of the Lithuanian national team - the goalkeeper - will not go to France to play friendly matches with Mali. This was announced by the official website of the Lithuanian Football Federation.
It is reported that the goalkeeper of Moscow's "Dynamo" got sick with the flu, and he will be replaced in the team by the goalkeeper of Marijampolė's "Sūduva", who made his debut in the national team in a friendly match against Kuwait last October.
It was previously revealed that defenders Irmantas Zelmikas and Nerijus Barasa, as well as midfielder Deividas Česnauskis, will not be able to help the team. Meanwhile, Edgaras Jankauskas was already among the substitutes in the Scottish championship matches last weekend and should be ready to represent Lithuania.
According to the Lithuanian Football Federation, the coaching staff, which will not include head coach Algimantas Liubinskas due to his rehabilitation after knee surgery, will stay in Paris after the match against the Malian national team to watch the Lithuanian team's opponents in the 2008 European Championship qualifiers in France."
