“Izidor’s departure does not mean that Lokomotiv will become weaker, but the club continues to look for strengthening” – Nagornykh

Chairman of the Board of Directors of Lokomotiv Yuri Nagornykh said that the club will not become weaker after the departure of forward Wilson Isidore from the team.

The French striker moved to Zenit on loan with an option to buy.

— Izidor’s departure in no way means that the team will become weaker. Today, Lokomotiv has a team of strong, motivated players who respect each other, the fans and the club. This composition is capable of solving the tasks set for the season. At the same time, we continue to work to find players who will really strengthen the team,” the Championship reports Nagornykh’s words.

In September, the 23-year-old forward went to France to undergo a medical examination at one of the clubs. The forward did not inform the management of Lokomotiv about his departure from Russia. In the summer, Marseille and Metz were interested in transferring the player.

This season, Izidor played 6 matches for Lokomotiv, scored 2 goals and gave 1 assist.
