Lokomotiv head of press office: The whole team was on board

Vladimir Malkov, Head of Lokomotiv Yaroslavl press office, spoke about the plane crash at Tunoshna airport.

«The plane with our team had to take off at about four o’clock in the afternoon. At first we did not want to believe it happened. But now there is no hope. The team is lost. I heard that two people are in critical condition. But who are they I do not know...»

«Maybe someone stayed at home – accidental or due to an injury at least?»

«No, it was the first match of the season, so they all were going [to Minsk – Sports.ru]. Even took four guys from the youth team with them...

«There’s an international forum going on here now in Yaroslavl. Because of that, the transport is overloaded and they have been deciding for a long time when to fly – on Tuesday or on Wednesday...» Malkov said as quoted by Sovetsky sport.
