Athletistic / Football. Zenit head coach Sergei Semak spoke about the recovery time of injured striker Maxim Glushenkov. Earlier, the footballer was injured in the match of the 5th round of the RPL with Khimki (1:1). He was diagnosed with a displaced fracture of the radius.

“Will Maxim return after the break for the national team matches immediately after or not? It is a question for the doctors when they will be able to release him on the football field.

Performance drop after Glushenkov’s injury? I think it can happen in any team. Cordoba is not fit and Spertsyan – will it affect the team? Of course it will. It’s the same here. Glushenkov and Wendel are two leaders who started very brightly. Will it have an impact? Well, of course it will.

Therefore, in any team, remove two main players and the same picture will appear. Whether it is Spartak, Dynamo … Take away Tyukavin and Bitello – there will also be a different team. This is the task of coaches: to work in any situation.

Sometimes players give up. And the managers argue: they are not iron men either. This is life, you can’t escape it. Of course, all this affects the club’s game,” Semak quotes Zenit’s press service as saying.
