“Getting vaccinated against coronavirus infection is a completely balanced and conscious decision.

Indeed, at the end of this week, together with other members of the coaching staff, we will go to Turkey, where many clubs hold training camps.

And in March, the national team will have qualifying matches for the 2022 World Cup in Malta, Sochi and Slovakia.

There are also many working meetings with players, coaches, club leaders ahead, ”the press service of the national team quotes Cherchesov as saying. 

The RFU will provide an opportunity to vaccinate all players and the national team's coaching staff.

At the moment, most of the team members are at the training camp abroad, but they will be able to get vaccinated upon returning to Russia.

Earlier it was reported that Cherchesov was vaccinated against coronavirus.

Together with him, the head physician of the national team Eduard Bezuglov was vaccinated.
