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.
Before the match, both teams held a minute of silence in memory of Liverpool and Portugal national team forward Diogo Jota, who tragically passed away in a road accident. This incident caused great sorrow in the football world.
Overall, the team is expecting the goalkeeper's health to improve after the injury and hopes for his active participation in the upcoming matches.
