Subway attack
The 20-year-old, who received two call-ups for the Russian national team in the autumn of 2006, will be on the sidelines for six weeks after sustaining the injuries in an incident on the Moscow underground. He has since undergone surgery to reset his jaw but will be absent from all of Spartak's pre-season training camps.
