CSKA 15.4 : Defender Aleksei Berezutski will be sidelined for three weeks after undergoing groin surgery. The 25-year-old also missed last weekend's 1-0 home league defeat by Spartak Nalchik. Berezutski played eleven times for Russia in qualifying for EURO 2008.
Zenit 13.4 : Russian international defender Aleksandr Anyukov has suffered a broken toe and is likely to be out of action for several weeks. The 25-year-old was forced off after 45 minutes of Zenit St. Petersburg's 1-1 draw at home to Krylya Sovetov Samara having scored the opening goal of the game. Anyukov will also miss his team's trip to Bayern Munich in the first leg of their UEFA Cup semi-final on April 24.
Zenit 8.4 : Nicolas Lombaerts faces a prolonged spell on the sidelines after damaging knee ligaments in training. The 23-year-old Belgium defender will be out of action for at least six months. Lombaerts had just returned to light work following a less serious knee injury which he picked up in February.
Spartak M 22.3 : Goalkeeper Stipe Pletikosa and midfielder Mozart have both signed four-year contract extensions with Spartak. Croatian international Pletikosa, 29, whose previous deal was due to expire in November 2009, joined the Moscow club in March 2007 from Shakhtar Donetsk. Brazilian Mozart, 28, made 48 league outings since arriving in 2005 from Reggina Calcio.
Rubin 15.3 : Rubin Kazan have signed Trabzonspor midfielder Gokdeniz Karadeniz for a fee of €8.7m. The 28-year-old playmaker has signed a three-year contract with an option for two further seasons.
Spartak M 13.3 : Spartak Moscow have strengthened their squad ahead of the new season by signing German central defender Malik Fathi. The 24-year-old arrives on a four-year deal from Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin. Fathi joins fellow Spartak newcomers Russian goalkeeper Soslan Dzhanaev and midfielder Igor Gorbatenko, Belarus defender Yegor Filipenko and Argentinian left winger Cristian Maidana, while Aleksandr Pavlenko and Oleg Dineev have both returned from loan spells.
Rubin 11.3 : Former Serbian international Savo Milosevic has signed a one-year contract with Rubin Kazan. The 34-year-old striker, who has played for Aston Villa, Real Zaragoza, Parma and Espanyol, has been without a club since leaving Spanish side Osasuna in June. A proposed move to Major League Soccer side Toronto fell through, and Milosevic, the most-capped Serbian player of all-time, has now joined the Russian side.
