Although the official invitation to the representative of the settlement came on the eve of the New Year, the 17-year-old defender can not go to Lisbon because he could not get a visa, Offsideplus.az reports.

The presence of non-working days in connection with the New Year, the absence of the Portuguese embassy in Azerbaijan, as well as the tightening of visa rules for COVID-19 were obstacles. The French embassy is dealing with the visa issue and Zira is waiting for a response to its appeal. 

Tomorrow is the last working day for this week and if the visa is issued, Jalal will leave immediately. The Portuguese club took over the ticket issue. However, if there is no positive response to the visa this week, Huseynov's visit will be postponed. Because the young player did not take part in the training sessions of "Benfica", and then in the test match so that the Portuguese could comment on him. Most importantly, Jalal had to return to Zira's camp on January 17 to prepare for the home match against Gabala, the last round of the second round of the championship, four days later.

It should be noted that Huseynov has been a member of Zira Football Academy since the age of 13.
