Former football player Aleksandr Grishin, who played for the CSKA team in the past, assessed the current season's prospects of the Orenburg team in the Russian Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He expressed concern that the Orenburg club's preparation for the tournament is insufficient. It has been revealed that the team has sold its main foreign players and is preparing for the first league.
According to Grishin, the current Orenburg team is in a completely different situation, and it is unclear how they will fill the gaps left by the foreign players. Last season, the Orenburg team finished in 15th place in the tournament table, ending up in the relegation zone.
On July 21 of this year, they will start the new season with a match against the CSKA team. The team returned to participate in the Russian championship due to the disqualification of the Moscow Torpedo team.
The Torpedo management was accused of bribing referees. This situation raises questions about the Orenburg team's prospects and competitiveness for the season.
