U23 Uzbekistan has 2 more quality players to prepare for the match against U23 Vietnam. The Uzbekistan Football Federation announced the duo Abdukodir Khusanov and Abbosbek Fayzullaev from Europe to Qatar this morning (April 22) to join the team.
Khusanov belongs to the Lens club. He appeared in 13 matches this season for the French team (9 matches in Ligue 1, 2 matches in the Champions League and 2 matches in the Europa League). Khusanov's forte position is center back.
U23 Uzbekistan beat U23 Kuwait 5-0.
Fayzullaev plays for the famous Russian club CSKA Moscow. A player whose forte is the attacking midfielder position, this winger often plays in the Russian Premier League. He scored 4 goals and had 11 assists in 26 appearances for CSKA Moscow.
Both Khusanov and Fayzullaev are Uzbekistan national players. They were part of the Central Asian team's friendly match against the Vietnamese team in October 10.
This star duo did not play in the first two matches because their parent clubs had not yet agreed. Because the 2 U23 Asian Finals do not coincide with a series of international matches according to the FIFA calendar, clubs are not required to give up players to the national team.
Yesterday Khusanov was still on the registration list for Lens in Ligue 1. Meanwhile, Fayzullaev started for CSKA Moscow and played 64 minutes. After the weekend series of matches, these two players immediately moved to Qatar to join forces.
U23 Uzbekistan won 2 victories and topped Group D of the 23 U2024 Asian finals. The Central Asian team is better than U23 Vietnam in sub-index. The direct confrontation between the two teams in the final match will decide the top spot in the group.
