The Latvian national football team is not yet clear about the participation of goalkeeper Pavel Steinbor in Tuesday’s match, the head coach of the national team Dainis Kazakevičs opened at a press conference on Monday.
The Latvian national football team will visit Montenegro in the sixth game of the 2022 World Cup qualifying cycle on Tuesday. In Saturday’s match with Norway after the collision with the opponent’s leg injury, the team’s first goalkeeper Steinbor won.
“The situation about Pavel Steinbor is still unclear at the moment, let’s see what the situation will be tomorrow. Kristers Tobers will train with the team today, and then we will already see how great an assistant he could be, ”the Latvian Football Federation (LFF) quotes Kazakevičs as saying.
Due to disqualification, defender Vladislav Fyodorov, who has returned to the “Riga” club to prepare for the decisive games of the Premier League, would not be able to participate in this match.
Due to disqualification, opponents of Madrid “Atletico” defender Stefan Savich will not be able to play, but Stevans Jovetics will be in the line.
“In general, there are several individual strong performers in the ranks of the Montenegrin team, and it was their actions in the first game that allowed them to play us. I think that the team has made significant progress during the year, the new coach now had more time to work with the team. It is clear that in similar games, the role of leaders is often crucial. Playing Steven Jovetich tomorrow would make their team much stronger, ”commented Kazakevich.
On Tuesday, the Latvian national team will start the second round of the qualification cycle. In the first five games, one victory was won, one draw was played and three losses were suffered.
“We wanted more points in the first round than we got. In terms of game content, there were more successful games than the less good ones. I will not make predictions about the second round, but tomorrow’s game is, of course, important. As I said before the qualifying cycle, it is important for us to prepare responsibly for each game and to do our best to score points in each game. Regardless of the opponent’s level, “Kazakevičs emphasized.
In Group G, after five games, 11 points are led by Turkey, ten points each by the Netherlands and Norway, seven points for Montenegro, four for Latvia, and Gibraltar for Beige.-
