“Any injury, no matter where it happens – during a game, in training or at home – is offensive, especially for an athlete. Of course, Tkachev’s injury is a big loss for Avangard. We now have this group of hockey players and. We believe that we have a good chance of success. We will wait for Vladimir to recover quickly. We want to believe that he will help the club during the regular season.
But to fine him… He was not somewhere on vacation, in an indecent state. Tkachev was seriously preparing for the start of the season. When I talked to him, when it happened for the first time, he could not say three words without crying. The club only gives him support – Vladimir is not so easy emotionally now. We are trying to make sure that he is positive, so that it contributes to his speedy recovery, “Zvyagin was quoted as saying by TASS.
On July 29, the Avangard press service reported that Vladimir Tkachev was injured during an individual training session before the season. After undergoing an examination, it turned out that the hockey player had a ruptured Achilles tendon. The recovery period after such an injury is usually about six months.
