Karpin announced the readiness of Fernandez to play for the Russian national team

“I met with Fernandez, Diveev and Zabolotny.

There was no need to convince Mario, he is ready to play for the Russian national team, ”Karpin said in an interview on the YouTube channel of journalist Nobel Arustamyan.

At the same time, the coach noted that the situation could change.

“Eremenko played in Rostov, then he said that he would not be able to play anymore.

The same can be true for the national team.

I also played in the Russian national team until 2002, and then I decided to focus on one team, ”he said.
