The decision on Matvey Safonov's return to the Russian team may be influenced by the match in Krasnodar.
The Russian national team's goalkeeper coach, Vitaly Kafanov, suggested that hosting the national team's match on home turf in Krasnodar might be a decisive factor for «PSG» goalkeeper Matvey Safonov to join the team's training camp.
The Russian team will play a friendly match against «Brunei» on November 15 in Krasnodar.
— Will Safonov come to the national team? We have discussed this with Matvey. We plan to get in touch again after the tour to clarify everything once and for all.
— Is it necessary to call him from «France» for these matches?
— This requires a comprehensive approach. First, if this game is important to Matvey, we are ready to offer him this opportunity. Second, he might want to play for the national team in «Krasnodar». If he expresses such a desire and all the conditions come together, we will be delighted, — Kafanov noted.
