Home-based White Wolves to convene in Tashkent

With foreign-based stars like Odil Ahmdeov and Eldor Shomurodov occupied with club duties, the squad for the camp – which will run from August 30 to September 4 – is entirely comprised of players from Uzbekistan’s domestic competition.

Among them are stalwarts like Khojiakbar Alijanov and Anzur Ismailov, who are two of the 4 players from defending Super League champions FC Pakhtakor to have been selected.

FC Bunyodkor - the club Abramov coaches in domestic football - provide six players, and the club’s stadium will serve as the venue for the training camp.

Arguably the most interesting addition to the squad is FC Navbahor defender Igor Golban, a former Russia U-21 international who will turn 30 on Friday and is now eligible for the Uzbekistan national team after spending five years in the country.
