MADRID, Spain (Reuters) -- Sevilla defender Ivica Dragutinovic is set to miss Serbia & Montenegro's World Cup qualifiers against Lithuania and Bosnia after suffereing an injury at the weekend.

The 29-year-old, who joined Sevilla from Standard Liege at the end of August, suffered a suspected torn thigh muscle in Sunday's1-1 draw with Espanyol.

Federation officials have asked the player to travel to Belgrade to be examined by medical staff, but Sevilla said it was "almost impossible" he would be fit to play.

Serbia, who lead Group Seven by two points from Spain, are away to Lithuania on Saturday and host Bosnia on Wednesday in their final two qualifying games.
