Koloskov assessed the likelihood of Dzyuba being called up to the Russian national team again.

Akron Togliatti striker Artyom Dzyuba is unlikely to be called up to the national team again after setting a record. This is the opinion of the honorary president of the Russian Football Union (RFU) Vyacheslav Koloskov spoke on Monday, March 24.

According to him, Dzyuba was invited by the head coach of the Russian national team, Valery Karpin, so that he could set a record, and he set it.

"I think that's the end of it," Koloskov said in an interview with Paragraph.

Dzyuba became the top scorer of the Russian national team in a friendly match with Grenada, scoring a total of 31 goals, RT reports. Thus, the striker broke Alexander Kerzhakov's record.

In the game against Zambia, which will take place on March 25 at the Dynamo stadium in Moscow, the striker will not enter the field. Karpin sent him to the location of the club.
