Nevsky Express on schedule

23.10.2010
Spartak St. Petersburg which leads PBL after two games will be the next opponent of our team in Russian Championship. CSKA players dream of improving their mood after the tough loss in the starting game of the Euroleague.

Victor Khryapa and Alexander Kaun remain on team's inactive list. Khryapa began non-contact practices with the team. Doctors and coaches do not plan to force his return as Victor stays wthout regular basketball activities from June. It is too early to estimate the date of Kaun's return. His knee is still studying by the leading medicine specialists.

"Spartak is a strong team with long bench, - CSKA head coach Dusko Vujosevic said. Most of the time they use two power forwards simultaniously. We should use our advantage under the baskets which we did not do in the game vs AJ Milano. Spartak is in good rhythm right now and they arrive here in inappropriate time for our team - we did not return to our best shape physically and we are shocked by the Euroleague game result. Still we are thinking only about the win."
