BELARUS
A versatile defensive midfielder, Bykov has spent most of his career with Dinamo Minsk after starting out with Zvezda-BGU Minsk, and returned to the club for a second spell earlier this year after a successful period with Dinamo Brest where he won the Belarusian Premier League and the Super Cup in 2019.
A towering figure in the Belarusian line-up, Bykov made his debut for the national team in 2014 in a 5-1 victory over Liechtenstein after making 17 appearances for the U21 team, but would not make a further senior appearance until 2017 when he returned to the squad for the 1-0 defeat to Switzerland.
