Soviet and Russian coach Valery Nepomnyashchy advised Zenit striker Maxim Glushenkov to go to church due to a series of injuries. Quotes from an expert vprognoze.ru.
“Oh, how embarrassing! I’m so sorry this happened. I really wanted to see him play. This is some kind of problem, I need to go to church. I broke my arm, now I pulled the one in the back. That’s a shame,” said Nepomniachtchi.
Glushenkov was injured in the match against Akron Togliatti in the fifth round of the Russian Cup group stage (5:1). He got injured and left the field in the 73rd minute. For this reason, while it was noteworthy that Zenit was in the minority for 8 minutes, there was no player change in the blue-white-blue team. In Akron, the teams were equalized after defender Vyacheslav Bardybakhin received a red card in the 81st minute.
Glushenkov, who joined Zenit from Lokomotiv Moscow in the summer of 2024, has already missed some of the team’s matches due to the hand injury he suffered in the fifth round match of the Russian championship against Khimki near Moscow.
Previously Glushenkov’s father rejected son’s problems with gambling addiction.
