Club restricts player's release

Donetsk Shakhtar has decided not to allow 24-year-old winger Gleiker Mendoza to participate in the friendly match between the national teams of Venezuela and Russia. The game is scheduled for 17 November and is set to take place in Krasnodar.

According to information published by the specialist portal Solovenex, which focuses on Venezuelan football, the club's management granted the player permission only for the first match of the November international break. This will be the game against the Basque Country team, which will be held on 14 November in Bilbao.

Obligation to return to the club

After the end of the match against the Basques, Mendoza is obliged to return immediately to the Shakhtar camp. Consequently, he will not travel to Russia with his national team partners for the second international fixture.

At present, no official comment or statement from representatives of the Donetsk club regarding the reasons for this decision has been received.
