Crystal Palace skipper Milivojevic excited for Serbia return

Crystal Palace captain Luka Milivojevic is proud to represent Serbia.

The dominant midfielder will play for his country in Euro2020 qualifiers against Portugal and Luxembourg after 12 months exiled from the squad following a fallout with former manager Mladen Krstajic.

"It's nice to be back in Serbia's jersey," Milivojevic said. "I'm glad to be able to help the national team and, basically, there's no nicer feeling than playing for my people.

"I was waiting for the call. Hopefully everything will be all right."
