The refereeing department of the RFU assessed the prospects for the return of the referee Kukulyak to the RPL

The head of the refereeing department of the Russian Football Union (RFU), Pavel Kamantsev, assessed the prospects for the return of referee Yevgeny Kukulyak to work at WORLD matches of the Russian Premier League (RPL).

— Yes, he was assigned to the match.

– Can you say something about the prospects for returning to the RPL?

– First you need to work out the next match. There will be quality – there will be appointments, – Kamantsev is quoted by Match TV.

Earlier, the ESC RFU suspended Kukulyak for some time due to an error in the match of the second stage of the quarterfinals of the Way of the Regions of the Cup of Russia between St. Petersburg Zenit and Moscow Dynamo (1:1, 4:5 on penalties). In the second half, in the Zenit penalty area, Claudinho hit Konstantin Tyukavin on the leg. Kukulyak watched the episode after the VAR prompt, but did not record a rule violation.
