The head coach of the "Zenit" team, Sergey Semak, explained the reasons for goalkeeper Evgeniy Latyshonok not being in the starting lineup during the friendly match against Makhachkala "Dinamo". This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
It was noted that the goalkeeper has just returned to training with the team after his injury. He was injured in the last official match and has now started training with the general group.
According to the coach, Latyshonok may be ready to take the field for the next match. This friendly match ended with "Zenit" winning 2:0.
The goals were scored by Lusiano Gondular and Pedro. It was also previously reported that Argentine defender Roman Vega joined the "Zenit" squad.
