Salavat Yulaev did not confirm that hockey player Kuzmin suffered a spinal fracture
Salavat Yulaev General Director Rinat Bashirov did not confirm that forward Gleb Kuzmin suffered a compression fracture of the spine in the regular season match of the FONBET KHL championship against Omsk’s Avangard.
Kuzmin collided head-on with the boards at high speed after contact with Omsk defenseman Darren Dietz in the second period of the game, which ended with a 4:2 victory for Ufa. The hockey player was taken off the ice on a stretcher and hospitalized.
— I can’t confirm a compression fracture of the thoracic spine yet. I’ll just say that it will take a long time to recover. The doctors said that additional examination will be needed. It will take two or three days. Yesterday, they just gave me two diagnoses within an hour. First it was bad, then it got better.
It is impossible to say yet that Gleb is out for the rest of the season. But we understand that he will be undergoing treatment for a long time, – Match TV quotes Bashirov as saying.
Kuzmin has scored a goal and made an assist in five games this season.
