Slovenia have named their squad to face England at Wembley next month. Slovenia will face England on 5th September, four days before The Three Lions' World Cup qualifier against Croatia. Coach Matjaz Kek has named his strongest squad ahead of the clash, which he insists will be a huge occasion. "We are all happy and honoured that we will play at Wembley and against such a great team as England, who is former World Cup winner," said Kek. "But for us it is really just a friendly game, four days later we play against Poland in qualifications and we must win at home. So England friendly will be just a good test for us, nothing else." The only English-based player in the party will be West Bromwich Albion ace Robert Koren. Slovenia squad in: Samir Handanovic (Udinese), Aleksander Seliga (Sparta Rotterdam), Miso Brecko (Cologne), Bo¿tjan Cesar (Grenoble), Elvedin Dzinic (Maribor), Branko Ilic (Real Betis), Bojan Jokic (Sochaux), Matej Mavric (TuS Koblenz), Marko Suler (Gent), Andraz Kirm (Wisla Krakow), Andrej Komac (Maccabi Tel Aviv), Robert Koren (West Bromwich Albion), Rene Krhin (Inter), Aleksander Radosavljevic (Tom Tomsk), Dalibor Stevanovic (Vitesse), Tonci Zlogar (Omonia), Valter Birsa (Auxerre), Zlatko Dedic (Bochum), Zlatan Ljubijankic (Gent), Milivoje Novakovic (Köln), Nejc Pecnik (Nacional)
