Team News

FC Rostov
CSKA Moscow
  • Defender Maksim Osipenko is back in training after recovering from a persistent injury and will be available for selection here.
  • Russia international Nikolay Komlichenko traveled with the team to Kazan for the midweek Russian Cup match, but he was left out of the squad for undisclosed reasons.
  • Viktor Melekhin sustained an injury in the cup match against FC Rubin Kazan and is a doubt next time out.
  • Brazilian defender Willyan Rocha is suspended after being sent off in last round’s match against Krylya Sovetov.
  • Sasa Zdjelar flew home to Serbia for a few days to be with his newborn son and might not return on time for Sunday's match.
  • Versatile defender Moisés picked up an injury in last round’s match against the Samara outfit and is a doubt here. The Brazilian defender is undergoing an individual training programme in order to be fully fit for the weekend’s visit to Rostov-on-Don.
  • Russia international Igor Diveev will not feature here due to a long-term injury.

Prediction

  • FC Rostov lost three of their last four league matches and their last win in the competition was back in the middle of August. Valery Karpin’s men will need to be at their very best in order to return to wins here.
  • CSKA got three consecutive draws in their last three league matches and have dropped several places in the standings because of that. Despite recent negatives, the Moscow outfit are slight favourites to get the three points next time out.
