Kone and Tziolis out in the cold as Greece name Euro 2012 squad

Greece head coach Fernando Santos has named his final 23-man squad for Euro 2012.
 
The Portuguese coach was expected to unveil the final list on Tuesday, but decided to make an early announcement of the players he will take to Poland and Ukraine.

Panagiotis Kone and Alexandros Tziolis have both learned that they did not make the cut, with Bologna midfielder Kone having been sent off in the 1-1 draw against Slovenia on Saturday.

Greece have been drawn with Greece, Russia and co-hosts Poland in this summer's showpiece event.

Prior to the start of the tournament, the Euro 2004 champions will play a friendly match against Armenia on Thursday.
