RFU Honorary President Vyacheslav Koloskov, in a conversation with SE, commented on the composition of the Russian national team for the October matches of the 2022 World Cup qualifying tournament.
"The line-up is not final, as there will be a tour on Saturday and Sunday, after which there may be changes. So we will assume that this is a preliminary composition. To date, those players are included who play constantly in the main teams - and effectively. For example, Agalarov. The coach proceeds from the correct principle: those who play constantly are considered candidates for the national team. I believe that all the best players have been announced, "Koloskov said in a conversation with SE correspondent Maria Kutsubeeva.
In October, the Russian national team will play two matches - against Slovakia (October 8, 21.45 Moscow time, webpage Kazan) and against Slovenia (October 11, 21.45 Moscow time, Maribor).
