“You understand correctly: I didn’t write to him if he got in shape.

Why don't I consider it?

Refusal is not the main reason.

In the last two Zenit games, he did not play at the base.

Substitutions are not enough for me, "Karpin said at a press conference.

Recall that Dziuba refused to be called up to the Russian national team for the October matches.

The reason is suboptimal shape.

At the same time, Karpin confirmed the existence of a conflict with the forward.

He also spoke about his interest in Khimki midfielder Denis Glushakov.

“If specifically for the Khimki - Ufa match, we watched Glushakov,” Karpin added.

Earlier, Karpin said that Sergeev's dedication could help the national team in the selection matches at the World Cup.
