Russia To Face Liechtenstein Without Andrey Arshavin
The tricky attacker has sustained a thigh injury...
Dutch manager Guus Hiddink will not be able to field star player Andrey Arshavin in Russia's World Cup Qualifier Against Liechtenstein on Saturday September 5 as the Arsenal attacker is not yet fully match fit and has sustained a slight knock in his club's 2-1 league loss against Manchester United last weekend.Arshavin will be unavailable for the match against Liechtenstein due to the thigh injury, but the creative forward could be part of Russia's starting XI four days later when they meet Wales.
"It's hard to predict whether he will be available for the match against Wales. He will definitely not make it for Saturday's game though. I hope that a couple of days rest will benefit him enough," Hiddink was quoted as saying at a press conference.
Russia sit second in the table in group four with fifteen points from six matches. They trail number one Germany by four points, but have played one game less.
