We have injuries – Bushchan and Stepanenko fell. On MRI, they said they were lucky to a certain extent. Sobol also got sick – let’s see what happens tomorrow. We will then do a physical test on the boys and find out who can play microdamage tomorrow. It’s important not to hurt the players, ”Petrakov said.
