Veteran former player of the "Dinamo" team, Aleksandr Tochilin, commented on the midfielder Luis Chaves, who was injured during training with the Mexico national team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, Chaves will be sidelined for at least half a year due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament. When asked if this is a significant loss for "Dinamo," Tochilin stated that it is currently difficult to assess.
He noted that there is a new head coach in the team and there is time to find a replacement. Additionally, it is necessary to consider whether there is a ready player within the team to fill Chaves' position, depending on the internal situation.
Perhaps, candidates for this position will be sought in the market. There was also talk about a forward named Sergeyev. He chose to join "Dinamo" over "Spartak" and is undergoing a medical examination.
Tochilin believes that this transfer will strengthen the team's attacking line, especially during the current recovery period of Tyukavin from injury. Sergeyev has proven himself as a good forward, and since he has a Russian passport, his chances of playing in the starting lineup are high.
He will become a key player in the starting lineup, but competition will arise between him and Tyukavin once he recovers. Moreover, there are other forwards in the team, such as Gladyshev, who plays in a different style and more on the wings.
They can also be seen on the field together with Sergeyev. There are possibilities to play with all three players in a two-forward system. Carraskal's departure to "Flamengo" could also be a loss for the team.
However, it would be appropriate to comment on this after the championship starts and the team's results become clear. He was the leader of the team last season. Lepvskiy and Lesovoy returned from their loan spells and scored in a friendly match.
Whether they are needed by "Dinamo" or will be loaned out again will be determined by head coach Karpin after the preseason gathering. Any player can show themselves and play an important role in the team's future. At the same time, many issues and decisions regarding the current situation in the team are being reviewed by the coach.
Work is ongoing on matters such as player health, strengthening the team composition, and maintaining competitiveness. This is crucial for achieving good results in the championship.
