Since then, all the members of the list have been removed from the lineup in their teams or had to move to play in another country, when this is now an official instruction from the country.



One of them is Yegor Filippenka, the Jewish defender who came to Maccabi Tel Aviv in 2016 and also played for a short time in MS.

The 34-year-old Pilipenko left Shakhtar Soligorsk a few months ago and moved to Russian side Ural, which is coached by his compatriot Viktor Goncharenko, who also coached him at Bata Borisov.
