It became known when the preparation of the Russian national team for the joints for the exit to the 2022 World Cup will begin

“I would like to thank RPL for postponing the tour.

There are no guarantees to qualify for the World Cup, but we will definitely have better chances to prepare better.

The training camp will begin immediately after the tour on March 13-14.

This week there will still be European cups, whether Russian clubs will play there or not, we'll see, ”Karpin said after the draw for the joints.

In the first round, Russia will play at home on March 24 with Poland, and five days later, in case of victory, the domestic team will meet at home either with Sweden or with the Czech Republic. 

Earlier, Karpin expressed the opinion that Poland has a lot of high-class players, in addition to Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski.
