Leonid Slutsky: Akinfeev will start the game against Zenit

CSKA Moscow manager Leonid Slutsky commented on his side’s disappointing 0-0 draw with Anzhi in the Russian Premier League and suggested the Red-Army’s Number One Igor Akinfeev, who is still recovering from injury, will start the game against Zenit St. Petersburg.

«Considering the injury problems we’ve been having, we decided to let Anzhi control the game and play on the counter. We had two goal-scoring opportunities, but didn’t convert them. Still we kept our first clean sheet in a while,» the Russian coach said.

«Igor Akinfeev will play in goal against Zenit,» Slutsky added, speaking to Sports.ru.
