Athletistic / Football. Zenit defender Nuraly Alip told how he reacted to the serious injury of CSKA goalkeeper Vladislav Torop, received by the goalkeeper after a collision with a Kazakh blue-white-blue footballer. The 20-year-old Russian suffered a serious head injury in the second leg of the Russian Cup final against Zenit (0:0, 4:5 – on penalties).
“In the evening after the match, I immediately recorded a video for Torop. As soon as he watched it, I wrote to him in personal messages, told him that this was an episode of game and I wished him a speedy recovery. Vlad will soon return to the field. He replied to me immediately. I wish him the best for next season!
On May 22, Vladislav Torop was released from the hospital. According to doctors, it will take 3 to 4 months for him to recover.
This season, Torop has appeared in 16 matches for CSKA in all tournaments and conceded 13 goals, keeping his goal locked on six occasions. In the last weeks before the injury, it was he who became the main goalkeeper of the military team, placing Igor Akinfeev on the bench.
