MOSCOW, June 11, Pavel Levkovich. only the coach of the national team and every footballer with a Polish passport can get it, said Jakub Kwiatkowski, press officer of the Polish national team. Defender Maciej Rybus moved to Spartak Moscow. The Pole left Lokomotiv Moscow at the end of the 2021/22 season due to the expiration of his contract. The agreement of the 32-year-old football player with the Red-Whites is calculated until the end of the 2023/24 season. Rybus will play for Spartak under the 13th number. «Every player with a Polish passport can be called up to the national team. Decisions regarding calls are always made by the national team coach,» said Kwiatkowski, answering the question whether Rybus will have problems with a call to the Polish national team due to the decision to stay in Russia. Rybus began playing in the Russian Premier League (RPL) in 2012, when he moved from Legia Warsaw to Akhmat Grozny (then Terek). In 2016, he left Akhmat and became a player in the French Lyon, but a year later he returned to Russia, signing a contract with Lokomotiv. As part of the railway workers, Rybus became the champion of Russia in 2018, and also won the country's Cup twice (2019, 2021 ) and once — the Super Bowl (2019). He played 66 matches for the Polish national team, scoring two goals.
