EURO 2012 in Serbia will start about two days( 4th December) and we have an unfortunately quiet long list with names of players beeing injured and because of this can’t help their national teams participating in Serbia.

One of Macedonia’s key-players, right-back Elena Gjorgjievska has suffered an ankle-injury, at her club, Buducnost in CL.
Group C: Spain, Croatia, Germany, Hungary
Germany missed in the last few weeks three right-backs because of injuries: Stephanie Melbeck , Isabell Klein and Susan Müller, all suffered different injuries and they had to be replaced with other players. In addition left back Nadja Nadgornaja has injured her ankle, so her presence is a big question too.
Hungary has two players who were chosen to the final squad, Krisztina Trischuk(FKC) and Anita Cifra (FTC), but after the first trainings with the team was decided that they are not in the necessary health-shape to participate at the first stage of the ECh. Backplayer Trischuk has a leg-injury and line-player Cifra is struggeling with a shoulder problem.
