Defender Valentin Paltsev, a player for the Dinamo club in Makhachkala, commented on not being included in the final squad for the upcoming friendly matches of the Russian national team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Reacting to his non-selection, he said, “Perhaps I am not worthy because I was not called up. Others are better.
The coach chose those he preferred more,” he said. These words were conveyed by the Match TV channel.
It is worth recalling that in September, the Russian national team will play two friendly matches. Valery Karpin’s squad will face the national teams of Jordan and Qatar.
These matches will take place on September 4 and 7, respectively. It should also be noted that Russia has been banned from international competitions since February 2022.
This situation is affecting the national team’s participation on the international stage.
