In a recent development surrounding the RFU Football Trials Commission and the competition’s regulatory process, Spartak Moscow will be represented by a club lawyer at the session where Alexander Sobolev is set to be questioned. The gathering follows Sobolev coming under review after a Russian Premier League clash against CSKA Moscow.
The proceedings are linked to a moment late in the second half of the Spartak versus CSKA match. In the 67th minute of the 28th round, Sobolev received a red card after an on-field incident involving contact with a CSKA defender. Video replays indicated a reaction from Sobolev that the match officials deemed improper, leading to his ejection from play. Spartak ultimately secured a 2-1 victory in that tightly contested fixture.
With this result, Spartak climbed to third place in the league standings, tallying 53 points. CSKA remained one point ahead, positioned second with 54 points, underscoring the competitive nature of the season as both clubs push for top-tier finishes and a strong position heading into the final weeks of the campaign.
Earlier in the week, CSKA Moscow Communications Director touched on developments related to Sobolev and the ongoing review. The spokesperson noted that Willian Rocha, a player from the red-dark blue side, had received attention in connection with the incident and the subsequent reactions from the players involved. The statement emphasized the club’s intent to cooperate with the regulatory process while maintaining a focus on competitive performance in upcoming fixtures.
