For the 26-year-old player, the call to the national team is his debut in his career.

This season, Kalyuzhny appeared in the starting lineup for Alexandria in all eight matches in the UPL, scoring one goal in the game with Shakhtar (4:3).

Both players were previously on the national team’s reserve list, but have now been promoted to the main team.

The Ukrainian national team will play its next match on October 11 against Georgia, and on October 14 it will play against the Czech Republic. Both games will be nominally “home” for the Ukrainian team and will be held in Poznan and Wroclaw, Poland.

The Ukrainian team closes the standings of Group B1. Albania and the Czech Republic have three points each after two rounds, Georgia is in the lead with two victories.
