President of Moscow Basketball CSKA Andrey Vatutine told ” that there is no information on when the defender will be restored to the team Alexei Shved at present, it is premature to talk about sports, because the health and life of an athlete come first.
On May 1, CSKA lost to Lokomotiv-Kuban (100:103) in Game 7 of the VTB United League semi-final playoff series and dropped out of the title fight. In the evening of the same day, unknown persons attacked Shved near one of the restaurants in Moscow, the player suffered head injuries with fractures of the bones of the skull and a contusion of the brain.
We remain optimistic and cheerful. I think he’s on the mend, but not as fast as everyone would like. Yesterday he (in the hospital) had a team and a coach, today the family was going to visit him.
– Alexei’s agent said that the athlete miraculously survived …
I’m not the press, I can’t comment.
– How long will Shved’s recovery last, when can he resume training?
I’m not a doctor, I can’t say. First, Alexei should be released, then the treatment tactics will be clear. With head injuries, medicine prohibits physical activity for a long enough period. Now there is no point in talking about sports, it was about a person’s health and life. The best healer is time: the fracture must heal, the swelling must disappear. With all our desire, we do not have the opportunity to speed up Alexei’s recovery.
– Does CSKA assist its player in his dealings with the police?
— The club is not a party to these relations. There is a victim, witnesses, inmates and a consequence. I have no doubt that the perpetrators will be found and punished according to law, Vatutin told .
CSKA previously reported that the basketball player was out of action for an indefinite period. He will not be able to take part in the team’s next matches in the series for third place in the VTB League.
Moscow police have opened a criminal case, the attackers face up to 12 years in prison. The Interior Ministry’s press service said on Wednesday that the suspects in the attack had been arrested. On Thursday, the press service of the Moscow prosecutor’s office reported that the case had been transferred to the territorial body of the Moscow Investigative Committee.
