“This is a consolidated decision of the league and clubs not to let their players leave the European Union.
Because otherwise, after returning from the national teams, the players will have to go through a week's quarantine.
Since the championship is underway, such consequences are critical.
Especially when it comes to players of Sasha's level, "- quotes the words of Petrov" Sport-Express ".
He noted that the situation is the same in many European leagues - a unified approach has been developed so that there is no discrimination.
“Unfortunately, the last time the matches of the national teams were held, there were cases of coronavirus.
This happened with our captain Ben Yedder, who fell ill with COVID-19.
He is still the leading player, but the performance is not the same, ”added Petrov.
On March 24, the Russian national team will play on the road with Malta, on March 27 in Sochi they will host Slovenia, and on March 30 they will meet with Slovakia on a visit.
Earlier it was reported that the State Duma did not see any conspiracies against Russian sports in the situation with Golovin.
