Akos Elek and Gyorgy Sandor have linked up with the rest of the Hungarian squad at Telki, ahead of the important game with Finland next Tuesday
Vidi pair Akos Elek and Gyorgy Sandor were called up to Sandor Egervari's national squad last week, as the Hungarian team prepare for one of the most important games in recent times against Finland. Holland are assured of top spot in the European championships Group G table. Sweden are currently in second place, on equal points with Hungary, who sit one place behind in third place. Hungary beat Sweden 2-1 last month in Budapest to set up an exciting finish to the group. Finland entertain Sweden on Friday evening, hoping that Finland do Hungary a massive favour and stop the Swedes from picking up three points. Hungary need to pick up maximum points next Tuesday against an improving Finland team. Akos Elek, who played a key role in Sunday's 1-0 away win at Ferencvaros, looks likely to continue in the heart of the Hungarian midfield. Pal Lazar has also been chosen, with the right back featuring regularly for his new side in Turkey, Samsunspor, since he moved there in the summer. Gyorgy Sandor has also made it into the squad, hoping to build on his substitutes role in the last game.
