Compared to the previous camp, the national team will not include the injured Krister Tober, Dāvis Ikaunieks and Renārs Varslavāns, who have been without playing practice for a long time.
This time, fewer players will train than usual, because both games will take place at home and there are no risks associated with travel and restrictions, the coach explained.
In less than a month, since the previous national team matches, the ten Latvian national team candidates playing abroad have been very different, positive and less than disappointing.
Pavel Steinbor was strengthened in the starting line-up of Belastok “Jagiellonia”, he played in all three matches in the Polish championship without changes.
Vladislav Gutkowski, another “pole”, took part in all four matches of Czestochowa’s “Rakow”, two in the starting line-up, but scored in both substitutions.
The teams are in fifth and seventh place in the table, respectively. Kaspars Dubra’s “Oleksandrija” is fourth in Ukraine, the Latvian defender has played three of the four matches in September.
In Ireland, Raivis Jurkovskis has played in all six Dundalk games, five of them in the regulars, but the title club is in its worst season in the last nine years and is eighth overall, only two points out of nine, which will have to take part in the playoffs.
Igor Tarasov has played two matches in the Cyprus Championship in the last, 12th place in Ahnas “Ethnikos”, but his teammate Artūrs Karašausks has been on the field for a total of 57 minutes.
He has had a very weak year this year and there is no longer any reason to talk about summoning to the national unit.
August was very successful for Jānis Ikaunieks in the Finnish “KuPS” team, but in September he played for only a few minutes due to an injury.
“Jānis is going through intensive recovery processes, he has been training for some time. Marian Pahar and I were at his club, discussing the situation with the management and the player himself. The question is whether they will be able to recover to the national team games, ”Dainis Kazakevičs pointed out.
Andrejs Cigaņiks regularly gets a practice practice in Dunajská Streda’s “DAC 1904”, which is the eighth 12-team competition in the Slovak Championship, he was replaced in two matches in September, one went on the field in the second half.
Eduard Emsis has played one incomplete match with Yerevan’s “Noah” in the Armenian Championship, the team is in fourth place.
Marc Osh has not played for the new team in Lausanne’s “Stade Lausanne Ouchy”, which are fighting for Switzerland in the second division, and his previous practice was in the national team in June.
Kazakevich believes that Osh will be in better condition than in September, because he trains with the team.
Robert Uldrikis joined the seventh place in the Dutch championship, Louvarden’s “Cambuur”, at the end of August, but did not apply in any of the games, because he was concussioned in the national team.
About half of the players in the Latvian national team have been vaccinated, so there are fears that Covid-19 will affect the preparation or even the course of the games. A precedent is in sight, because at the end of September, four positive cases removed the Latvian U-17 team from the track.
Derby draw
“RFS” approached the title in the Latvian championship, fighting 1: 1 with “Riga”. In the previous six derbyes, “RFS” had won, also in this first half they played much more convincingly and very beautiful goals, leaving the thirsty defenders Antonija Chernomordia and Armands Petersons, Emersons scored.
After a short tussle with the defender, Felipe Brisola finally tucked the ball home. Kevin Frizenbihlers came on, 20 minutes into the match.
“RFS” has 54 points (22 games), “Valmiera” 51 (23), “Riga” – 45 (22), “Liepāja” – 44 (24). Tomorrow “RFS” will visit Liepaja.

Higher risks
Dainis Kazakevičs, head coach of the Latvian national team: “Vaccination is a sensitive topic, the picture in the sample is the same as in society as a whole.
It must be understood that the decisions of different countries will make it increasingly difficult for the unvaccinated to travel and play games, and it will be necessary to think about how to deal with it.
From a risk point of view, I would like the number of people vaccinated to be higher. We talk to the players that this complicates the situation. The new government regulation says the rules that players must take into account in the Latvian championship, and it will be a motivating factor. ”
