“No one told me that they would be called up to the national team, and he himself did not think about it. I didn't expect to be called up to the national team. Of course, there were thoughts that they might be called, but there were no specific expectations. At the moment, it is difficult to talk about goals in the national team, they are not yet available. For now, you need to come to the location of the team, ”Mostovoy Sport24 quotes.
For the 22-year-old midfielder, this is the first call to the Russian national team.
In the 2019/20 season, Mostovoy played for Sochi on loan, played 25 matches in the Russian Premier League and became the author of six goals and five assists. At the start of this season, he gave one assist in four games.
Earlier it was reported that Lutsenko and Mostovoy were called up to the Russian national team for the UEFA Nations League matches.
