Players of the Uzbekistan national team were in action for their European clubs over the past week. Abduqodir Khusanov started and played the full 90 minutes for Manchester City in their 2-4 UEFA Champions League loss to Paris Saint-Germain on 14 October. In the Turkish Süper Lig, Eldor Shomurodov played the entire match for Başakşehir in their 0-0 draw with Konyaspor on 11 October. Abbosbek Fayzullaev entered that match as an 80th-minute substitute.

This club activity comes in the context of the national team's recent results. Uzbekistan's form in its last three official matches reads two wins and one loss (LWW). Prior to that, they secured a 4-1 victory over Syria on 1 October and a 3-1 win against Iran on 24 September.
