Preparation for gameweek 10 match against Ufa is underway in our camp.

Today's training session was mostly a recovery one. Malcolm Badu, Mikhail Ignatov and Reziyan Mirzov joined the main group, but are still training with restrictions.

Aleksandr Selikhov has undergone successful surgery on his Achilles the day before. Mikhail Butkovsky estimates Silekhov will make a full recovery in around six months.

— The preparation is going according to plan: yesterday we worked hard, today we recover. — said our vice-captain Roman Zobnin after training. — We have put the loss to Ural behind us already. Ufa play on artificial turf, it's a strong, combative team. But we have worked on the flaws in our game and hope we'll get a positive result.

Our side will travel to Bashkiria tomorrow. Ufa will host Spartak on Friday, with the kick-off set for 5:30 p.m. Moscow time.
