Rossi's squad ready for Baku
Marco Rossi's Hungary men's squad travelled to Baku on Thursday without unfit duo Attila Fiola and Donát Zsótér, but efforts will continue to prepare Tamás Kádár and Barnabás Bese for Saturday's EURO 2020 qualifier against Azerbaijan.
Zsótér suffered an ankle injury in training this week while Fiola is still to reach peak fitness after his recover from serious injury, so neither will play this weekend nor in the team's second qualifier in four days, Tuesday's home fixture against Wales in the Groupama Aréna in Budapest.
