Zenit striker Artem Dzyuba needs to be interviewed and said that he is in good shape. Such advice to the forward was given by the honorary president of the Russian Football Union (RFU) Vyacheslav Koloskov, whose words are quoted by “RB Sport”.
The functionary considered this step logical, since the player had previously publicly stated that he was in poor physical condition. “However, he must back up his readiness with deeds. So far it hasn’t been able to support it, ”added Koloskov.
The honorary head of the RFU admitted that in the future Dziuba could get into the national team. According to the functionary, the player has not exhausted his potential.
The expanded roster of the Russian national team for the qualification matches of the 2022 World Cup against Cyprus (November 11) and Croatia (November 14) was announced earlier on Monday, October 25. There are 41 players on the list, Dziuba is not among them. In October, the striker refused to play for the national team, explaining that he was in poor physical shape.
