Uzbekistan National Team faces another major setback

Sherzod Nasrullaev, a member of Uzbekistan’s national football team, will not participate in the World Cup qualifying match against Kyrgyzstan due to an injury, as reported by “Asiasport.”

The 25-year-old player’s absence has led to the inclusion of Hojimat Erkinov in the squad. Additionally, Oston Urunov’s participation in the match remains uncertain.

"Ashurmatov, who has had limited playing time with “Rubin,” and Golib Gaybullaev from “Nasaf” are expected to support Husanov in central defense. While Sayfiyev could theoretically serve as the third central defender, he is more likely to replace Nasrullaev on the left wing. For Urunov’s position, Kapadze has several options to consider," the report states.

It was previously announced that Uzbekistan’s national team will play against Kyrgyzstan in their traditional white kit, with the goalkeeper wearing green.
