Roman Pavlyuchenko can miss the decisive match of the national team against Germany

The head coach of the Russian national football team Hus Hiddink is not sure that he will include the team for the decisive match of the 2010 World Cup with the national team of striker Roman Pavlyuchenko, RIA Novosti reports.

Pavlyuchenko, the best scorer of the Russian national team in the current qualifying cycle (5 goals), due to high competition in Tottenham, was practically devoid of game practice, in addition, it barely recovered after an injury. According to Hiddinka, "it is not yet a fact that Pavlyuchenko will be among the 18 players declared for a match with Germany" on October 10.

“I have repeatedly said that I was concerned about his position in Tottenham,” said the Dutch specialist in an interview with the Soviet Sport newspaper. “But on the other hand, we cannot unequivocally convey the novel to the side. We must first see how he works in training in the national team, in what physical form he is and how his competitors look at this position.”

He added that he would prefer to include 20-21 football players, not 18, as established by the FIFA rules. “Let the novel have no constant game practice, but he will stably have two or three points in the match that can become goals. This cannot be neglected,” Hiddink said.

Pavlyuchenko told Sport-Express that he would not fall into the “spur” application for the nearest match of the championship of England with Bolton. According to the striker, he can leave Tottenham in the winter transfer window.

“I trained in the last days with the maximum calculation, I understood that the main matches of the year Russia - Germany and Azerbaijan are ahead of the year. As for my situation in the club, I can say only one thing: if there is no game practice further, then in winter, you will most likely have to look for a new team,” Pavlyuchenko said.
