			Mihajlovic's comeback September 29, 2000 Belgrade, September 29 - Defender Sinisa Mihajlovic was named on Friday in Yugoslavia's squad for next month's World Cup qualifiers after coming out of international retirement. National coach Ilija Petkovic said the Lazio veteran had reversed a decision to quit international football in the wake of their 6-1 thrashing by the Netherlands at Euro 2000. Yugoslavia face home matches against group one rivals Russia on October 7 and the Faroe Islands four days later. "The game with Russia is an extremely important one for us...we managed to break a longstanding inferiority complex with Russia when we beat them 1-0 in St Petersburg," Petkovic told a news conference. The only uncapped player in the squad is third-choice goalkeeper Zarko Lucic. Squad Goalkeepers: Zeljko Cicovic (Las Palmas) Aleksandar Kocic (Red Star Belgrade), Zarko Lucic (Buducnost Podgorica).
