Dzyuba said he is ready to be called up to the national team

The forward of the Akron team from Tolyatti, Artyom Dzyuba, responded to a question about the possibility of being called up to the Russian national team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

In the second round of the Russian Premier League, he managed to score on the field, but he could not convert a penalty kick. In an interview with "RB Sport," the footballer said that he would gladly go if called up to the national team.

It was also noted that Valery Karpin emphasized that there is no need to call him up to the national team. Dzyuba was last called up to the national team for a friendly match after a long break.

In that game, he became the highest-scoring player in the history of the national team, surpassing Aleksandr Kerjakov. Since 2022, the Russian national team has been banned from international competitions organized by FIFA and UEFA.
