Russian team coach Viktor Onopko suggested that Russian teams would return to the international arena in less than two years.
Earlier, FIFA and UEFA suspended Russian clubs and national teams from all competitions under the auspices of organizations due to the situation in Ukraine. As it became known to Match TV, the players of the Russian national team will gather at the base in Novogorsk in September.
How many years do you think we will be returned to Europe?
– I do not know. I believe that they will return, – RB Sport quotes Onopko.
– Can the suspension of Russian clubs and the national team last another five years?
– No, less.
– Three years?
– Less.
– Year?
– I can’t say specifically, but I think that the exclusion of Russian clubs and the national team from European competitions will definitely not last two or three years. I think in less than two years we will be returned to Europe.
