CSKA Moscow’s Brazilian newcomer Kellven may violate the Russian Federation’s immigration laws by taking part in the seventh round match of the Russian Premier League (RPL). This was reported by Telegram channel “Inside”.
CSKA announced the transfer of Kellven on September 1. In the match played with Zenit, the Brazilian football player took the field in the first 11 and entered the game in the 74th minute of the match. According to the source, any foreigner needs to have a work visa and work permit to be able to work in Russia. It is not possible to issue all the necessary documents for this in a short time, so it is likely that one of the conditions was violated.
The match ended with a score of 1:1. Anton Zabolotny opened the score in the 4th minute of the match. Two minutes before the end of regular time, Douglas dos Santos’ goal brought Zenit a draw.
Zenit is second in the Russian Premier League standings with 14 points. CSKA is in seventh place with 11 points. Krasnodar is in the lead in the championship with 17 points.
Former CSKA veteran appreciated in the words of the army rookie “not some kind of firefighter”.
