The Russians have already lost experienced country defender Yuri Zhirkov to injury, so another loss would hurt manager Stanislav Cherchesov.
Next Monday, his students will finish the group stage match with Denmark.
We remind you that on Wednesday the Russians beat the Finns 1: 0. Before that, the team 0: 3 had no hope against Belgium.
At the time, another defender, Benjamin Surname, had caused concern the day before. A representative of the French team in a match with Germany (1: 0) hit his head on an opponent and, as he later claimed, had lost consciousness for 10-15 seconds.
Nonetheless, the 25-year-old German from Bayern Munich finished the match, which is what got the attention of UEFA.
UEFA contacted the French team to find out if they were complying with current protocols.
Brain injury charity Headway says the injury suffered by French defender Benjamin Pavard and the way he handled it was “disgusting to watch.”

Before the championships, all teams agreed that players would be replaced immediately if a concussion was suspected.
UEFA has come under pressure from both the Fifpro world football union and non-governmental organizations working on brain injuries.
The Headway charity said the decision to allow the player to continue the match was “disgusting and irresponsible.”
