- Mircea Lucescu’s FC Zenit overcame league champions CSKA Moscow last weekend to lift the Russian Super Cup for the fourth time in their history.
- Hulk’s departure to China this summer was compensated by the arrivals of Slovakian international Robert Mak and Brazilian attacking midfielder Guiliano.
- Team captain Danny and Russian midfielder Pavel Mogilevets are still recovering from respective injuries and will miss the match against the Railroaders.
- In their final pre-season fixture before the meeting with Zenit, FC Lokomotiv Moscow were held to a draw by Czech side FC Viktoria Plzen.
- Talented youngsters Rifat Zhemaletdinov and Georgi Makhatadze have left the team to join FC Rubin Kazan this summer.
- Team captain Vedran Corluka also looks set to leave Cherkizovo, according recent reports in the media.
- Versatile Brazilian forward Maicon, who is still recovering from injury, will miss the upcoming visit to Petrovsky.
Lucescu has already confirmed that Dzyuba won't play in that match, like newcomer Mak and Giuliano. Please a little bit more research whoscored
@VladiKliese What is the problem with Dzyuba? Does he have an injury? Does it mean that Kerzhakov will play?
@gary.cahill488 He suffered a knock and won't be in the squad. It means that Kerzhakov or Kokorin will play at centre forward.
