Double winner of the Gagarin Cup Sergei Konkov believes that the return of the attacker Ilya Kablukov can help Omsk “Avant-garde” playing on throw-ins and defending.
Earlier, the club announced the signing of a contract with the 36-year-old, the deal is valid until the end of the season. Previously, the hockey player already played for the Omsk team from 2020 to 2022.
— I think Avangard lacks reliability in the midfield and in defense. Ilya is a hockey player who knows how to play well, help with throw-ins and defense. He is one of the structuring players in the system who has the experience of a winner. It’s no coincidence that he has been in the league for so many years. If everything goes well with his fitness, then he can be of great use,” Konkov told RB Sport.
Kablukov is an Olympic champion in 2018, a three-time winner of the Gagarin Cup, he won one of the cups as a member of the Omsk club. From 2022 to 2024, the striker defended the colors of Dynamo Moscow.
