Tried and tested suits Casoni
Bernard Casoni has opted for experience for his first match in charge
of Armenia - a 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifier away to F.Y.R. Macedonia
next Wednesday.
Old favourites
The French coach, who was handed the reins only last week, has had
little time to acquaint himself with his squad and has therefore
named a 22-man party comprised of players used by his predecessor,
Mihai Stoichita.
Voskanyan injury
Casoni's options have been hampered by injuries to several leading
players, including defensive midfield player Artur Voskanyan, who is
recovering from ankle surgery, while first-choice goalkeeper Roman
Berezovski is included despite lacking match fitness.
Tough task
Armenia have been drawn in qualifying Group 1 with the Czech
Republic, Netherlands, Romania, Finland and Andorra as well as F.Y.R.
Macedonia.
Armenia squad
Berezovski, Hambartsumyan, Hovsepyan, Dokhoyan, Vardanyan,
Kirakosyan, Tadevosyan, Nazaryan, Arakelyan, Sargsyan, Khachatryan, A
Petrosyan, Melikyan, Lazarian, Aleksanyan, Artavazd Karamyan,
Grigoryan, Hakobyan, Arman Karamyan, Movsisyan, Pachajyan, G
Petrosyan.
