Substitute appearance
The 27-year-old Shirokov, who appeared once for Russia at UEFA EURO 2008™ but was omitted from Guus Hiddink's latest squad, suffered a calf injury as a half-time substitute for Ivica Križanac during the UEFA Cup holders' 4-1 win at FC Terek Grozny on Saturday. "He will miss the game against Juventus and possibly the league match against [PFC] CSKA [Moskva] next Sunday," a club spokesman told uefa.com. Zenit will also fly to Italy without Turkey forward Fatih Tekke, who is recovering from a thigh problem.
