Friendly Player List Update

According to Olé, Cata Diaz is also injured and will miss the friendly. Getafe doctor reported this to Basile and the coach had agreed to Diaz's absence. Basile will not field replacements for the 3 players missing.

This should bump Gaby Milito up on the list (and drop Zanetti or Coloccini to defense if we play 3 defenders). Diaz could still get his chance in next friendly. Although Basile might concentrate on evaluating domestic players then.

Norwegian player list:

Rune Almenning Jarstein, Odd Grenland
Håkon Opdal, Brann
Martin Andresen, Brann
Daniel Braaten, Bolton
Simen Brenne, Lillestrøm
John Carew, Aston Villa
