Kapadze responds to social media rumors about Masharipov  

Reports have been circulating on social media claiming that the head coach of the Uzbekistan national team, Temur Kapadze, has decided to suspend midfielder Jaloliddin Masharipov from the team due to his comments regarding the red card he received in the match against Kyrgyzstan.  

QALAMPIR.UZ reached out to Kapadze for clarification, and the coach dismissed the reports as entirely false.  

“They’re joking on social media, maybe organizing an April Fool’s prank. These claims are completely untrue. We have a very good relationship with Masharipov,” Kapadze said.  

QALAMPIR.UZ also urges its followers not to believe unverified reports from unofficial sources.  

It is worth noting that after the match against Kyrgyzstan, Masharipov stated in an interview that he had not realized during the game that an opposing player had been sent off. He only became aware that the opposing team was playing with 10 men when a substitution was made.
