Karavaev and Vendel have some minor problems. Bakaev continues recovery. These are the players who are in question. Rodrigao and Malcolm will definitely not play. There are players who will miss today’s lesson, but may take part in the next match.

– Malcolm had a desire to break the record of performance in the championship. What is the situation with him in general and with other legionnaires?

– As for Malcolm, the most important thing here is the health of his wife and child. Now it is much more important for him to be with them. If there is an opportunity to come here for the next match or for the last game, he will certainly do it. Today we are in contact with him. If the family situation allows, he will come. If not, he will stay with his wife. It is much more important for him to be there than here, ”Match TV quotes Semak.
