Honorary President of the RFU Vyacheslav Koloskov expressed confidence that Spartak head coach Guillermo Abascal stopped using Georgiy Dzhikia as the team’s main defender for good reason.

This season of the Russian Championship, the 29-year-old player played six matches. For the last 4 rounds, Dzhikia remained in reserve.

— Dzhikia has no practice at the club, and this affects him. In the match against Kenya, Jikia really made a big mistake, but he still remains one of the leaders of the Russian team. I don’t know what his situation is at Spartak, but I want him to return to his level.

I think Abaskal is not his own enemy by simply not putting Dzhikiya in the main lineup. Dzhikia is an excellent football player, but it means there is something if he doesn’t play for Spartak,” Koloskov told RB Sport.

“Abaskal expressed his complaints to Sobolev in a harsh and insulting manner and suspended the player after an emotional response” – source
