Scans show hamstring injury for Russia’s Dzagoev
Russia’s team says a scan has confirmed creative midfielder Alan Dzagoev sustained a hamstring injury in the opening World Cup win over Saudi Arabia.
The team says Dzagoev underwent an MRI scan on Friday and "a timeframe for his treatment will be determined in the coming days."
The FIFA World Cup in Russia runs from June 14 to July 15, and Sportsnet.ca will have in-depth daily coverage.
Dzagoev would have to recovery quickly in order to play any further part in Russia’s group games against Egypt on June 19 and Uruguay six days later.
The injury to the 27-year-old CSKA Moscow midfielder meant winger Denis Cheryshev was brought on against Saudi Arabia. He then scored two goals.
