He won’t play with us. Kazakhstan national team captain suspended for two years

The AFC Disciplinary Committee issued a verdict against Kazakh midfielder Al-Ain Baurzhanu Islamkhanu… The captain of the Kazakh national team has been disqualified for two years for doping.

The AFC’s decision is valid throughout the football space, so Islamkhan will not be able to participate in the qualifying round for the 2022 World Cup.

The 27-year-old footballer has been suspended since November 9. It was then that, after the Asian Champions League match, a banned substance was found in his sample.

Let’s remember that the Kazakhstan team is Ukraine’s rival in the 2022 World Cup qualifying round, along with the teams of France, Finland and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
