Midfielder of FC Irtysh (Kazakhstan) Ruslan Mingazov and midfielder of Sabah (Malaysia) Ahmet Atayev will not be able to help the national team of Turkmenistan in the September qualifying matches of the 2022 World Cup.

On September 5, the team of Turkmenistan will play with Sri Lanka in a guest match, and on September 10 in home match with the Republic of Korea.

As it became known to Turkmenportal, the reason for the absence of Mingazov in the national team was a tear in the adducting groin muscle. Because of this, the Turkmen midfielder dropped out for a one month. The injury was received on August 25 in the match of the Premier League of Kazakhstan FC Irtysh vs. FC Aktobe. Ruslan Mingazov place in the national team of Turkmenistan will be replaced by Amir Gurbani, a Cambodian FC Nagaworld player.

Ahmet Atayev, whose doctors diagnosed a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligaments, is undergoing surgery, because of which he was out of order for at least six months.

The midfielder of the FC Lokomotiv Tashkent Arslanmyrat Amanov will arrive in Ashgabat on August 28 and will fly away from the national team of Turkmenistan to the training camp in Dubai on August 30. On the same day, Amir Gurbani and Artur Gevorkyan will join the team. Another foreign player - forward of the Kyrgyz FC Dordoi, Vahyt Orazsahedov - will arrive at the location of the national team on August 31.

The training camp of the Turkmenistan team in Dubai will last until September 3, after which our players will go to the city of Colombo for the qualification match of the World Cup 2022 with the Sri Lanka team.
