Attack “Spartacus” Pavel Poriadin expects that Ilya Kovalchuk will feel the excitement in the first match after returning to the Moscow club.
In early December, 40-year-old Kovalchuk signed a contract with Spartak until the end of the season. The forward has yet to appear on the ice this season. The striker can play for Spartak on Sunday in a home match against Kunlun if the coaching staff includes him in the squad.
— I haven’t met Kovalchuk yet. But when I discovered it, it was very nice. I look forward to the practices and matches where we can play together. I think Ilya will still be a little nervous in the first match, and we have to support him, and he will support us. We must all come together, and then he will give us much. Still, Kovalchuk has a lot of experience on the ice and in the locker room,” Poryadin told Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
