It seemed that the PSJ team had forgotten about the Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Initially, the Ligue 1 giant did not mention Safonov in the list of players called up to the national teams. It was revealed that this situation might be related to political reasons.
However, currently PSJ has posted a new post on social media where Safonov is specifically mentioned. The post notes that three Parisian players — Marquinhos, Kvaratskhelia, and Safonov — are on match day.
At the same time, a link to an article published on PSJ's official website was provided. It contains information that the Russian national team will hold friendly matches against the Jordanian and Qatari national teams on September 4 and 7 with Safonov.
This news is being perceived as a certain explanation for PSJ team's previous neglect. Safonov's recall highlights the importance of his position in the team.
Additionally, this situation draws attention to the complex relationship between sports and politics. It is noticeable that the PSJ team is now striving to fully support all its players.
