Big concern for Russia: Mostovoy positive for Covid-19 on the eve of facing the Devils

Concern for the Russians. Zenit player Andrey Mostovoy has tested positive for Covid-19. The left winger immediately left the selection to place himself in isolation. His tournament is already over, as he will be replaced by Roman Evgenyev from Dinamo Moscow.

“Due to the unfavorable result of Andrey Mostovoy’s PCR test, the technical staff decided to call defender Roman Evgenyev in his place,” the Russian team said on its Telegram page.

Mostovoy had already tested positive at the beginning of the year, recalls HLN. He wasn’t supposed to start the game against the Red Devils. We still do not know the repercussions on the entire Russian team.

According to UEFA’s Covid regulations, a match will be played as planned as long as a team is able to put the names of 13 players on the scoresheet, including a goalkeeper. Otherwise, the match may possibly be rescheduled within 48 hours. If this is impossible, then the formation “responsible for the cancellation of the match” will lose the match by forfeit (3-0).

On the side of the Red Devils, who took off this Friday at 9:30 am to St. Petersburg, remember that the entire group has tested negative.
