FC Rostov
Nizhny Novgorod
- Alexey Mironov is undergoing an individual training programme in order to restore his fitness after recovering from a long-term knee injury and will miss Saturday’s match.
- Defender Eyad El Askalany remains sidelined due to a serious injury and will only return to action after the winter break.
- Winger Imran Aznaurov will miss the rest of the year because of a recent injury.
- Head coach Viktor Goncharenko mentioned during a press conference that midfielders Konstantin Maradishvili and Mamadou Maiga will only be available for selection after the winter break. Both players are already undergoing individual training programmes in order to restore their fitness after long-term injuries, but Goncharenko believes that it makes no sense to rush their recovery.
- Midfielder Ilya Zhigulev has been training with the team after recovering from a long-term knee injury and might enjoy some playing time before the winter break.
