Speaking during the ongoing national team training camp in Tashkent, the richly experienced boss – who has also overseen the midfielder’s rise at club side FC Bunyodkor – said Jaloliddinov has the potential to reach the highest level, but he must be given time to adapt.

“Of course (he has the potential). Everything will depend on him now,” Abramov, who led Uzbekistan to the 2011 AFC Asian Cup semi-finals, told the-AFC.com.

The AFC Cup action in the West Zone will kick off on October 23, 2020 with Group C leaders Qadsia SC from Kuwait taking on Oman’s Dhofar Club. Meanwhile, teams from Groups A and B will restart their campaigns three days later on October 26 with matches from all three groups scheduled to conclude on November 4, 2020.

The single-leg West Zonal Semi-finals will take place on November 23 and 24 before the final two teams compete in the West Zonal final on December 1, 2020 for a place in the AFC Cup final against the winners of the Inter-zone play-off on December 12, 2020.

The 19-year-old midfielder makes the move from fellow Russian Premier League outfit FC Ufa, whom he joined from Uzbekistan’s PFC Lokomotiv Tashkent in February.

He made 10 distinctive appearances for the Bashkortostan club, receiving plaudits for his attacking style and earning Player of the Match honours against high-flying Lokomotiv Moscow in July.
