Former Lokomotiv player Zaza Janashiya shared his thoughts on Zenit's forward Maksim Glushenkov being called up to the extended squad of the Russian national team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to Janashiya, head coach Valery Karpin calling up Glushenkov means that he is needed in the team. He emphasized that Karpin trusts this player and that Glushenkov can do things in his system that others cannot.
In the current season, the 26-year-old player has appeared in five matches across all competitions but has yet to stand out with effective performances. The Russian national team will play a friendly match against Jordan on September 4 and face Qatar on September 7.
These matches will be an important test for the national team, giving the coaches an opportunity to further strengthen the squad. Glushenkov's call-up serves to solidify his position in future games.
Fans of the national team are expecting good results from this player.
