Khozhiakbar Alizhonov

Status unclear

Alijonov (calf) remains questionable for the World Cup after missing Uzbekistan's friendly matches, per Conor Bowers.

Analysis: Alijonov has struggled to fully overcome his calf discomfort, and his presence in the international tournament could now be at risk. While he hasn't been ruled out, his status is a big concern given his importance in the back line. If he's not fit enough to start, his place on the right flank may be covered by Farruh Sayfiyev.
