After the start of the RPL season, Norwegian Rostov midfielder Matthias Normann and Lokomotiv football player Wilson Isidor, who played on loan at Dynamo, left Russia.

“The situation is dire. You are a player, you have a valid contract and you fulfill it. It is unprofessional to do this unilaterally. We will defend our interests together with Lokomotiv, Dynamo and Rostov. Every player with a contract has to fulfill it,” said Alaev.

September 3 “Railroad” press service reportedClose to the close of the transfer window in Europe, the player left Russia without the permission of the Lokomotiv management and went to France, where he was independently examined by one of the teams without informing the club.
