Capped three times by Russia at Under-21 level, Kasaev helped Kuban win promotion back to the Premier-Liga in 2008 and has since scored twice in 16 top-tier games this term. Kuban are 14th in the 16-team table, while Rubin – who begin their UEFA Champions League group stage campaign in September – lead FC Spartak Moskva by one point at the top of the table.
