Head coach of the Cypriot “Aris” Alexey Shpilevsky spoke about why the Russian striker Alexander Kokorin lost the team’s last four games.
Kokorin was absent in matches with Anorthosis (2:0), “AELE“(0:0) and Olympiakos from Nicosia (0:0). Also, the striker did not participate in a friendly match with the Greek “PAOK“(1:4).
Sasha has a microtrauma. She has been bothering him for a long time, she was there before. Maybe she didn’t seem so strong then. But then, four games ago, she heard him, so they decided to keep him.
Now he has already started training in the general group, he has been training for two days. We miss. But I want to see it in the best condition.
Can he play in the next game? We want it. Let’s see if he comes out in the first few minutes or as a substitute. But he won’t be fully ready in terms of mentality. Therefore, now it is difficult to say whether he will be able to spend all 90 minutes on the field.
