Injured Bisevac out of Serbia's qualifiers

BELGRADE, Oct 4 (Reuters) Central defender Milan Bisevac will miss Serbia's Euro 2008 Group A qualifiers at home to Belgiumand Armenia because of a groin injury.

The Red Star Belgrade player was declared unfit after a practice session and a Serbian Football Association spokesman said he would take no part in matches against Belgium on October 7 and Armenia four days later in Belgrade.

''Bisevac will not be fit for the two matches and coach Javier Clemente has decided not to call up any replacements,'' Aleksandar Boskovic told reporters.

Serbia beat Azerbaijan 1-0 and drew 1-1 with Poland in their opening two qualifiers.

World Cup semi-finalists Portugal, Finland and Kazakhstan are the other teams in the group, the only one with eight rather than seven teams.
