Andrey Lunyov will play for the Russian national team in a friendly match against Belarus, as expected. This was reported to reporters by national team head coach Valery Karpin. Karpin also praised the performance of Matvey Safonova during a 1-1 draw with Nigeria: “I assessed it well, I made a sieve, a bait. It went to zero. I think I did the right thing by refusing the award to the best player. I don’t know who awarded it.” Source link
