BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Defender Neven Subotic, who grew up in Salt Lake City, has survived Serbia’s initial World Cup roster cuts and appears to have won a place on the final roster.
Subotic was among 24 players on coach Radomir Antic’s roster Friday after six players were trimmed from the preliminary group announced last week. Just one more player must be cut to get down to the 23-man limit and Subotic seems likely to make it because four goalkeepers remain and one of those will be cut.
The 21-year-old, who plays for Borussia Dortmund, was on the U.S. team at the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship for players under 17.
