Slovakia coach Jozef Resetar has a number of injury concerns as his side prepare to face Finland in a series of friendlies ahead of additional qualifying matches for the Women's EuroBasket in Turkey.

Resetar's team will play Finland in Helsinki on Friday, Saturday and Sunday this week but will be without three key players.

"(Katarina) Polakova has a big problems with her back and she will be not back probably till the beginning of qualification," Resetar confirmed

"(Daniela) Cikosova has the same problems  so she will stay at home as well. We decided to give her a break. She will go through therapy doses and she will join the team before the friendly games against Hungary in Kosice (on July 21 and 22)

"(Dagmar) Chlebovcova will not go with us to Helsinki either. She has very little chance of playing in these games."
