“You have to be realistic: in the current situation, the Russian national team is unlikely to play official matches. Maybe the suspension will last until 2025. In this situation, I don’t want to play for the national team. Of course, if they call me, I’ll talk to the coach. But if it’s a friendly match, then it’s better for young people to play there. Wear a T-shirt of the national team. Russian national team is an amazing feeling, but not in the current situation,” Kokorin said.
This season, 31-year-old Kokorin has made 16 appearances for Aris, scoring 7 goals and providing 3 assists.
