“Manchester City” defender Abdukodir Khusanov has been left out of Uzbekistan’s squad for November.
Fanat.az reports that head coach Fabio Cannavaro has not called up the player for the friendlies against Russia and Saudi Arabia.
His omission is down to his fitness and ongoing recovery from injury. The coaching and medical staff have concluded that the defender would benefit more from additional rest.
The 22-year-old most recently played the full 90 minutes against “Nottingham Forest” in the English Premier League.
Uzbekistan will face Russia on 12 November and Saudi Arabia on 17 November.
