(Reuters) - Josip Ilicic was included in Slovenia's squad for Euro 2024 named by manager Matjaz Kek on Friday, after the winger made a scoring return to international football this week.

Ilicic had not played for his country since November 2021, and left Serie A side Atalanta to return to Slovenian club Maribor, having suffered with mental health issues, but was named in the provisional squad.
