In midfield, the coach has called up Ignjat Miletić, Đorđe Radivojević, Dimitrije Šarić, Jovan Ostojić, David Milovanović, Luka Jovanović, Uroš Mihailović and Dušan Jovanović. These players are currently attached to Crvena zvezda, IMT, Vojvodina, Radnik Surdulica, TSC and Teleoptik.

The attacking options include Alexa Damjanović from Bayer Leverkusen and Nikola Paunović of Jedinstvo Ub. The squad is set to assemble in Belgrade on November 9 to prepare for the three fixtures scheduled later that month in Pančevo.
