Rokas Lekiatas from “Kauno Žalgiris” will not participate in the camp, and for the first time, Vilnius district “TransInvest” defender Ričardas Šveikauskas has been invited to the national team.

The Lithuanian national team lineup includes many new or long-unseen faces. After a long break, Arvydas Novikovas, Ignas Plūkas, and Vaidas Magdušauskas return to the squad, and the first invitations were received by goalkeeper Arnas Voitinovičius and midfielder Domantas Šluta, who previously represented the U21 team, as well as Ignas Venckus and Edvinas Kloniūnas, who are having solid seasons.
