Lokomotiv Moscow sports director Dmitry Ulyanov explained why striker Artem Dzyuba did not go with the team to the quarter-finals of the Russian Cup Regions Road with Tolyatti’s First Division club Akron.
“Microtrauma. He has a previous injury. Both with Akhmat and in the previous match. Will he be ready for Krasnodar? Yes,” said Ulyanov. “Sport Express”.
The match between Akron and Lokomotiv is currently being played in Zhigulevsk. The score for the home team is 1:0.
Dzyuba started this season with Turkish club Adana Demirspor, whose contract he terminated a few months later. After returning to his hometown as a free agent, the footballer negotiated for a long time with RPL clubs, which the media referred to as Torpedo and Paris Nizhny Novgorod. As a result, he signed a contract with Lokomotiv Moscow.
Dziuba scored a hat-trick in the first match against Rostov for a new club in the Russian Premier League (RPL). In the next round, the striker tried on the captain’s armband – due to the exclusion of Stanislav Magkeev in the match with Akhmat, Dziuba was forced to take up the duties of the captain.
