Coman's place taken by Stanciu
Romania goalkeeper Danut Coman is out of Euro 2008 after breaking his thumb in training.
Coman suffered a serious fracture to his right thumb after saving a team-mate's shot and is expected to be sidelined for up to six weeks.
The Rapid Bucharest shot-stopper had been expected to provide the chief back-up to undisputed No.1 Bogdan Lobont at Euro 2008.
The 29-year-old had made one appearance in qualifying against Belarus, but will now miss next month's tournament in Austria and Switzerland.
His place in the Romania squad will be taken by CFR Cluj's Eduard Stanciu, who joins Marius Cornel Popa as cover for Lobont.
Coman is the second player to be forced out of Victor Piturca's squad through injury after Ovidiu Petre suffered a knee injury while playing volleyball at the team's training camp in Turkey.
