Lithuania to meet Russia in friendly

23 May 2012-AFP

Lithuania manager Csaba Laszlo has named his squad for the nation's friendly against Euro 2012 qualifier Russia on May 29 at Nyon in Switzerland.

Russia has inked in a handful of friendlies as it hones its skills for the European championship, which kicks off in Poland on June 8.

The Lithuania match comes four days after a game with Uruguay in Moscow and three before a meeting with fellow-qualifier Italy in Zurich.

Lithuania failed to make it to Euro 2012, finishing second from bottom in Group I, ahead of minnow Liechtenstein but behind Scotland and qualifiers the Czech Republic and Spain.

Tuesday's call-up also applies to the June 1-3 Baltic Cup between Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland, in Estonia, and to a friendly against Belarus on June 7 in Minsk.
