Zenit St. Petersburg will play their next match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Rostov-c39192 at Petrovsky stadium.
Rashid Rakhimov has hailed the St. Petersburg club’s decent league run and urged them to win the upcoming European encounter if they are to reach the later stages in the continental tournament.
Going into the crunch European fixture, Luciano Spalletti will be without Hulk. The Brazilian striker limped off the field during their last match against the Selmashi after sustaining a hamstring injury that will keep him sidelined
until mid-December.
However, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hulk-c16436’s injury does not seem to upset Rakhimov, who believes that Spalletti have worthy replacement in his quad.
“The loss of one player should not have a decisive impact on the game. This is one of the hallmarks of good teams. Hulk has been instrumental in the attack due to his strengths but Zenit have enough players to replace the Brazilian,”
The Soviet Cup winner was quoted as saying.
Nonetheless, Spalletti will welcome http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Igor-Denisov-c16694 back in the composition ahead of the European meeting.
Miguel is set to make his first European appearance after operating his fractured knee. The Portuguese attacking midfielder has been sidelined since November last year. Denisov, on the other hand, is set to return after apologizing
to the management for displaying unprofessional attitude.
Commenting on Lokomotiv Moscow’s latest league defeat against CSKA Moscow, Rakhimov Slammed the Croatian coach, insisting that Bilic has failed to make an impact since joining the Russian outfit.
“Lokomotiv are re very far behind the leading group. The Lokhi are experiencing problems and I think the coach would have found a solution by now. I confess that I have not seen any change in the team under the new manager,” He
concluded.
The Railroaders dropped down to the 8th spot on the league table after suffering their fifth defeat of the ongoing campaign.
