Steaua CSKA without protection 23.08.2011

Steaua has serious defensive problems before the second leg of the playoffs against CSKA UEFA Cup on Thursday. Three defenders of Romanians are injured and their participation in the meeting of the stadium "Vasil Levski" is questionable.

With injuries are Galamaz George, who scored one of the hits in the first leg and right back Novak Martinovic. They failed to recover and for the last match against Astra Steliana in the league, lost with 1:2.

The star of the team Gabriel Matthew did miss the first match in Cluj and was supposedly cured, but in the last match spend seven minutes on the pitch and was replaced again.

So coach Ronnie Levy will have much trouble in selecting his starting XI on Thursday. He hardly has a choice who to put on the defensive and probably will again rely on Valentin Iliev in the center of defense, and his partner will be Gerald, who came on as replacement in the match in Romania.

On the left-back will act Latovlevichi Yasmin, but the big problem will be right where the two defenders are injuries and may need to be returned there Nikolitsa Bane, who normally plays as a right winger.
