Saudi Arabia midfielder Taisir Al-Jassim told Sputnik on Sunday that he did not know any of the players in Russia's 2018 FIFA World Cup squad.
"Russia is a wonderful country. We believe that the organization will be on the highest level and it will be one of the best World Cups. We don't have much information about Russia's squad yet. Honestly, I don't know anyone in Russia's team, I don't follow the Russian League," Al-Jassim said.
Saudi Arabia have been drawn in Group A along with the hosts Russia, Egypt and Uruguay. Russia will meet Saudi Arabia in the opening game of the competition on June 14 in Moscow.
Russia will host its first-ever FIFA World Cup from June 14 to July 15. The matches are set to play at 12 stadiums across 11 cities.
