Acting head coach of Barys of Kazakhstan Galym Mambetaliev at a press conference after the KHL match against Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod, he said that the team’s defender Kirill Polokhov I missed the game because I cut my leg on a skate during pre-game practice.
The meeting took place on Sunday in Astana and ended with a score of 2:1 in favor of the guests.
— Today we are deploying [Полохову] I cut my leg on a skate. They sewed him up and did four stitches. My leg was swollen, I couldn’t put on my skates, I wanted to go out. We had to play with seven defenders,” Mambetaliev said.
This season, 25-year-old Polokhov took part in 17 matches.
