Masný
Three important names are not on the list, the absence of one came as a surprise. The captain Michal Masný from Polish Jastrzębski won’t go to ECH.
Other two are absent due to injuries – Milan Bencz (Siena, Italy) and Martin Vydarený from domestic team Myjava.
Slovaks have passed the first training week and will continue with further preparation on Monday.
