In the 3rd round of the CAFA tournament held in our country, the match between the national teams of Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan was interesting and intense for the fans. At the beginning of the second half of the match, an unexpected situation occurred - the goalkeeper of the "Andijan" club and the Kyrgyzstan national team, Erjan Tokotayev, suffered a head injury and was forced to leave the field.
While fans were worried about his health, the Andijan club's press service contacted the goalkeeper and spoke about his condition.
- Erjan, how is your health? You were injured in the match against Uzbekistan. How are you feeling now?
- Thank you very much. Currently, my condition is much better. After the results of the examination, the doctors recommended that I rest without overexertion. It will take some time for the swelling to subside. After that, I will return to training.
The goalkeeper also shared his impressions of the match against Uzbekistan:
- We didn't start the game badly. In the first half, the opponent took advantage of only one goal. Besides, they couldn't create serious dangers. In the second half, I couldn't continue the game due to injury.
During the conversation, Erjan also commented on "Andijan's" opponent in the ACL 2 tournament - "Arkadag":
"This club from Turkmenistan has experienced and skilled players. We are a younger team. But if we play at a high tempo, we can achieve a good result.
He also touched upon the opponent's strengths and weaknesses:
- The most important thing is that we need to play quickly, without losing our style. Then we will have an opportunity.
Answering the last question, Tokotayev added about his condition:
- For now, I need to rest peacefully. But I'm doing everything possible to get back in line as soon as possible. I intend to join the team soon.
Erjan Tokotayev's speedy recovery and return to the field will undoubtedly be important news for both Andijan and Kyrgyzstan national team fans.
