“I can’t say when Wendel will return to Zenit. He has family problems. But for us now the main thing is to have won the Super Cup, and there are a lot of Brazilian players here. I’m very happy about that,” Malcom said in an interview with the Championship Correspondent.
On Saturday July 15, Zenit became the winner of the Russian Super Cup by beating CSKA in a penalty shootout with the score 5:4. During the regular time of the match, the teams did not score goals.
Recall that Wendel, 26, is still in Brazil and did not take part in Zenit’s pre-season training, which started at the end of June. Earlier, it was reported that the player might intend to leave the club.
