Wings of the Soviets forward Samara Sergey Pinyaev may avoid surgery for a spontaneous pneumothorax, according to reports from TASS. The medical team treating the young talent appears to lean toward non-surgical management, with a final verdict expected on July 29. The ongoing assessment comes after Pinyaev became unwell during a training session on July 20 and was subsequently admitted to hospital with a left-sided spontaneous pneumothorax. Doctors are monitoring his condition closely while weighing treatment options, including the possibility of observation and conservative care rather than immediate intervention.
Pinyaev joined Wings of the Soviets in the summer of 2021 and has since been part of the club’s efforts in the Russian Premier League (RPL). In the current season, he has appeared in at least one league match without recording a goal, while in the previous campaign he contributed 4 goals and 3 assists across 30 appearances. The player’s career has included time with a prestigious club’s academy system, and it has been noted that his development included training stints at Manchester United, reflecting the international exposure he has accumulated during his youth years.
Earlier remarks from Nikita Karlitsky, a physician associated with the Moscow Spartak academy, provided context on Pinyaev’s hospitalization. Karlitsky discussed the reasons behind the footballer’s medical course and walking with a bottle and a pipe after admission, highlighting the careful clinical considerations involved in his care and the overall recovery trajectory.
