Samvel Babayan has changed 23-player squad of Uzbekistan for Antalya camp

Uzbekistan national team will organize four-day-long training sessions in the framework of the preparation for the 2018 World Cup Asian Qualifiers will be restarted on March 23 against Syria and continued in Bunyodkor stadium with a match with Qatar national team on March 28, 2017.

• Uzbekistan's Fozil Musaev has joined Jubilo Iwata training camp

A week ago, the White Wolves boss announced a 23-player squad for the Antalya camp will start on January 21. However, Samvel Babayan had to change the team player list by adding Doston Hamdamov (FC Bunyodkor) and Vladimir Kozak (FC Pakhtakor) instead of Server Djeparov who has already penned an 18-month contract with FC Esteghlal Tehran and Temurkhuja Abdukholikov who has signed a contract with Qatar Stars League side Al-Sailiya SC.

• Armenia has cancelled the friendly match against Uzbekistan in Antalya, Turkey

The reason was to decide to change the team squad is that the training sessions will be conducted in non-FIFA days and for that reason, FC Esteghal and Al-Sailiya SC will not allow these players to join their national team.
