Valery Karpin, the head coach of the Russian national team banished from all competitions, thinks the team will be returned to official international matches in the near future.
"I have a clear understanding of what we play friendly matches for. They will still bring us back - a year, two years, but they will.
Participation in Euro 2028? Maybe, maybe not," - quotes Karpin's words "Championship".
Well, in the meantime, the Russian national team will play friendly matches against fairy-tale opponents - Vietnam and Thailand - in September.
