Interim head coach of the Armenian national team Sargis Hovsepyan allowed forward Yura Movsisyan to stop trainings and leave for the US to pass a medical.

Hovsepyan told the website of the Football Federation of Armenia (FFA) that Yura Movsisyan was called up to the national team, as he was supposed to recover until the match against Portugal.

“The first days of the training campaign showed that Yura is not ready for the upcoming match. Together with the coaching and medical staff, we decided to allow Movsisyan to pass a medical in the US before he joins his club,” Hovsepyan.
