Russian Premier League took an international break once more. Dynamo Moscow delegated 10 players to their national team ranks.
The centre-back Roman Yevgenyev and the left winger Vyacheslav Grulyov went to Russia U-21 team. Mikhail Galaktionov's men earned 4 points in previous two matches and now have to play against group leaders – Poland U-21 (Yekaterinburg, October 11th) and Estonia U-21 (Pärnu, October 15th).
It is pleasant to note that Dynamo Moscow staff work is highly praised for its professionalism and qualification. The doctor of the White-Blues’ first team Alexander Rodionov who works in our club since July, 2016 was called up to Russia U-21 team. Two White-Blues’ masseurs Nikolay Larin and Runis Burkhanov traditionally joined the Russia national team.
Dynamo centre-back Toni Šunjić (40 matches – 1 goal) went to the national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Bosnians currently occupy the fourth position in the group J and have slim chances to qualify for EURO-2020. This Balkan team has to play against Finland in Zenica (October 12th) and Greece in Athens (October 15th).
Sebastian Szymanski was called up to both Polish national teams. First of all, Seba will join the senior national team (1 match) which currently leads the group J with 13 points and which will play two important matches against Latvia in Riga (October 10th) and Northern Macedonia in Warsaw (October 13th). Then, the midfielder is awaited in the ranks of Poland U-21 which will have already played against the Russians by that time. On the 15th of October the young Poles will face Serbia U-21 in Łódź.
The Burkina Faso's appearance record holder Charles Kaboré (90 matches!) went to his national team which is to play a number of friendlies.
Dynamo’s centre-forward Ramil Sheydayev (22 matches – 3 goals) received a call to the Azerbaijani national team. The team from the «country of lights» stays at the bottom of the table in the group E. The Azerbaijanis will play a friendly against Bahrein (October 9th) and a qualifying fixture against Hungary in Budapest (October 13th).
Finally, four Dynamo U-21 players – Dmitry Vladimirov, Andrey Mazurin, Igor Shkolik and Maxim Danilin – were called up to the Russia U-18 team. The young Russians will take part in the first qualifying round of the European Championship in Wales.
