Hleb declines invitation to play for European Stars Team

Alyaksandr Hlеb has declined an invitation to play for the European Stars Team in two out matches in the US: with the team of Africa in New York on June 27 and with the team of South America in Los Angeles on June 30.

“We weighed all the pros and cons and decided to refuse it”, - said Mikalai Shpileuski, manager of the senior Hleb, to a reporter from “Press-Ball”. – This season turned out to be very hard for Sasha. He needs some rest after two matches in England and two matches against Bulgaria for the national team in June.

There is little time for it. Furthermore, there is a possibility to get an injury during the off-season. So it is not necessary to take this risk”.
