Russian U-21 team celebrate a 1-0 win over Kazakhstan in
the opening match of qualifying campaign however the opponents broke the
regulations and included a suspended player into the line-up for the game.
"Azat Nurgaliyev had to miss the clash through suspension however
UEFA didn't notify Kazakhstan national association about the player's
suspension", said Boris Stukalov to Sport Express.
"As a result UEFA handed down a technical defeat their national side
while the player got a three-matches suspension."
"Ahead of Poland clash players joined the national side being in
perfect fitness but I am a little bit concerned about absence of Artem
Dzyuba and Sergei efimov."
"Spartak youngster has fallen ill but I hope he will return into
action soon and Efimov will miss the match through an injury."
"Several other players won't help the team through different problems
but I am sure they will get an invitation from the national team again."
"I have enough information about Poland's team and I can say they
are strong team."
"I think that national team should have a core group of players who
have regular trainings and play trial matches so this is of great significance
for us."
