At the same time, we had to suffer the loss of five players at once. Tamkin Khalilzadeh and Rahil Mammadov stayed in Croatia because of a positive coronavirus test, while Maxim Medvedev was "stuck" in Luxembourg for the same reason. The players are currently receiving treatment in these two countries.
Bedavi Huseynov and Abbas Huseynov returned home injured. The fact that four of these five players wear the Qarabag uniform is a matter of serious concern. Considering that Aghdam is fighting in the Euroleague group and will play an important match against Sivasspor on November 26, the situation is not heartening.
As Offsideplus.az, we contacted the head of AFFA's Press and Public Relations Department, Firuz Abdulla, to find out the fate of the members of the national team who are currently receiving medical treatment abroad, as well as the latest situation of the players returning home injured.
- What do you know about the players who passed the COVID-19 test?
- As you know, Tamkin and Rahil are in Croatia, and Maxim is in Luxembourg. Regular contact is maintained, situations are asked. National team doctor Vyacheslav Khomenko did not return to Baku and stayed with Maxim. The embassies of our country in Croatia and Belgium (as there is no Azerbaijani embassy in Luxembourg, the situation there is controlled by our embassy in Belgium - H.), as well as health care organizations of both countries were informed about it. They are also paying attention to the issue.
- Is it known when the players will return to Baku?
- As far as I know, they must stay there for at least 10 days. At the end of this period, they will test again. If the answers are negative, they will have no problem returning to Baku.
- Will it not be taken soon? Because Karabakh has a game with Sivasspor.
- There are some exceptions in the plans developed for the coronavirus. Maybe they can come and take the test a few days before 10 days. But it is difficult to say that it will be 100 percent. Because it will be decided by local health organizations.
- Were they hospitalized?
- No, they stayed in the hotel where we stayed. They are treated there.
- Is it possible for them to train individually to stay in shape?
- They are not allowed to leave the room, they have to train. No, it will not be possible.
- Where are the injuries of Abbas and Bedavi?
- According to my information, Abbas has been out of action for about 10 days. Bedavi was injured in the last game, so I will not be able to give accurate information. Because it had to be examined.
