Chief Physician of Moscow “Dynamo” in sports medicine, Valery Konov, who worked for the Russian national team for many years, told that the Washington captain Alexander Ovechkin will not be able to come to Russia for treatment.
On Friday, it was learned that Ovechkin would be out four to six weeks with a fractured left fibula. The 39-year-old hockey player was injured on Monday during the NHL regular season match against Utah (6:2). Dynamo Moscow offered their student Ovechkin to treat his injury in their club.
— Yes, we suggested that Sasha undergo treatment in Russia. I corresponded with him and he replied: “Evgenich, how will I get there? There are the owners of Washington, I have a contract with the club. And the treatment there is also good, just like yours.
At the same time, I will say that the leadership of Dynamo Moscow has created an outstanding medical center in Moscow, where the latest equipment is located. Any injury can be healed there.
So, for the first two weeks, at the initial stage, Ovechkin will definitely be treated in Washington. And then we’ll see. Rehabilitation is not excluded. We know that it is best done in Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Russia. And it’s a habit that we practice right away. If you have injured your leg, place it on a special platform and work on the upper shoulder girdle. So, if Washington had let Ovechkin come to us, Sasha would have returned to the NHL regular season in great shape, ”Konov told the correspondent.
Ovechkin has scored 15 goals this season. In total, he has 868 league goals, according to this indicator he is second only to Canadian Wayne Gretzky (894).
