TEAM NEWS

Midfielders Tosic and Jankovic are still sidelined due to their respective injuries while Scekic is doubtful after picking up a head knock against Besiktas.

Boss Zoran Mirkovic on Backa game:

– Whatever the mood around the squad is after European exit, players will have to improve both physically and mentally. There`s two more competitons to play for and we are trailing behind the leaders already, therefore we need to play each new game to win. But, it`s not going to be easy as this match is coming after Besiktas defeat and there`s more pressure around. Backa is well organized side and our job is going to be far from easy.
