Edgar Sevikyan Armenia squad Latvia UEFA Nations League, Digi Mart USA News (Riga): Armenia midfielder Edgar Sevikyan has been left out of the squad for the UEFA Nations League Matchday 6 encounter against Latvia, scheduled for November 15 in Riga. UEFA has published the official squad lists, and Armenia have named 22 players without the 25-year-old.
Sevikyan was part of the 23-man group that travelled to Riga with the national team, but no official explanation has yet been provided for his absence from the matchday squad. He had featured in Armenia’s previous Nations League match against Cyprus, a 1-1 draw, coming off the bench in the 72nd minute to replace Narek Grigoryan.
Striker Artur Miranyan has been included in the squad and will be available for selection against Latvia. Latvia, meanwhile, will also be missing several players.
Midfielders Deniss Melniks and Janis Ikaunieks have been omitted from UEFA’s official 23-man list despite earlier call-ups.
Latvia head coach Paolo Nicolato said Melniks had suffered a leg injury and described his chances of playing against Armenia as low. The reason for Ikaunieks’ absence has not yet been clarified.
Markuss Strods, who had previously dealt with health concerns, has been included in Latvia’s final matchday squad.
The match is scheduled for November 15 at Skonto Stadium in Riga, with kick-off at 18:00 Yerevan time (14:00 UTC). It is the final group-stage fixture for both teams in the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League campaign.
