Karpin explained why he called up Tyukavin and Komlichenko

The head coach of the Russian national team, Valeriy Karpin, commented on the inclusion of forwards Nikolay Komlichenko and Konstantin Tyukavin in the expanded squad for the BetBoom friendship matches. "We decided to additionally include two forwards in the extended list.

This decision is related to the fact that some strikers do not have enough playing practice at their clubs," said the Russian Football Union's press service quoting Karpin. In November, the Russian national team will play two friendly matches.

Valeriy Karpin's players will compete against the national teams of Peru and Chile. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
