On Friday, Lithuanians will play the World Cup qualifying match against the Latvian national team without leaders.
Replacing the Hungarian Csaba Laszlo at the helm of the team, Igoris Pankratjevas did not invite Zydrunas Karcemarskas, Edgaras Cesnauskas, Deividas Semberas, Tomas Danilevicius and Marius Stankevicius.
The 32-year-old defender representing Gaziantepspor, M.Stankevicius, was surprised not receiving a call from the coach.
"No one even called me, they could at least inform me. I was waiting for the coach's statement, because he chooses.
When I used to come to the national team and players like Aurelijus Skarbalius, Edgaras Jankauskas, Raimondas Zutautas were playing, it was an honor for me and I wanted to do something, help, learn. They were my teachers at that time. Will the youth learn from themselves today?" - M.Stankevicius did not hide his disappointment in an interview with "Lietuvos Rytas" television.
