The head of the Russian Hockey Medical Staff, Valery Konov, said that he has little optimism about the possibility of the injured striker Yevgeny Dadonov to play in the semifinals of the World Cup.
“In the first period of the match against the Swedes, Evgeny was injured,” Konov quotes the official website of the FHR. “For about 20 minutes we conjured him, the hockey player returned to duty, was able to complete the key duel. Now there is little optimism, everything will clarify just before the game.”
The Russian team will meet with the US team in the semifinal match of the World Cup. The game, which will be held in Prague at the O2 Arena, will begin on May 16 at 20:15 Moscow time.
Recall, at the group stage, the team led by Oleg Znark lost to the Americans . The other pair of semi -finalists was made up of Canadians and Czechs.
