Radimov believes that Zenit are on equal footings with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-c10193 Miguel’s injury.
Zenit St. Petersburg are likely to play the upcoming UEFA Champions League clash against SL Benfica without Danny Miguel, following a knee injury to the Portuguese national during a routine workout.
Miguel has now joined the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roman-Shirokov-c31645, Anyukov and Domenico Criscito in the treatment rooms. Shirokov has sustained a muscle injury recently while Bukharov is still recovering from a hamstring injury
he sustained during a practice match in Dubai.
Danny Miguel has been a key member of Zenit’s attack this season. Having started all of the group stage matches, his good European form saw him score one goal and set up another.
The Portuguese national has played an influential role in controlling the midfield area of the pitch, terrorizing their oppositions in Europe.
There’s little arguing that Danny has helped the Russian outfit open up opposition defences by striking up a fearful partnership with Shirokov in the centre of the field. Their absence will be hugely missed by Bomzhi faithful for
the upcoming European outing.
Consequently, Luciano Spalletti has recalled the out-on-loan player, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergei-Semak-c32976
could play a match changing role in the upcoming European encounter.
The former FC Krylia Sovetov Samara player, Vladislav Radimov, has expressed that Zenit and Benfica have an equal chance to progress to the quarter-finals despite the injury to the Portuguese playmaker.
"We cannot say that Benfica are favourites to win against Zenit, although Zenit will be without Danny. I think that the chances of reaching the quarterfinals of the Champions League are - fifty-fifty.
“Zenit have a decent squad at their disposal who can replace Danny but I admit that no one can replace him hundred percent.” The Copa del Rey winner was quoted as saying.
Radimov revealed that Zenit have quality midfielders to replace Danny and assured the fans of ninety minutes of gruelling action.
