Plus Kaun, minus Langdon

The first away game for CSKA in Russian Superleague made the team to overcome the biggest distance of the season. Transaero Boeing with army team on the board landed in Krasnoyarsk where the game against Enisey will take place tomorrow.

It is minus 7 in Siberian city but the Moscow weather was enough to change the roster of red-blues. Initially the coaches planned only one change, replacing Artem Zabelin with Sasha Kaun who rehabilitated from injury. But Trajan Langdon arrived to USH CSKA with high temperature in the morning and the decision to leave American guard at home was taken. Andrey Vorontsevich also stayed in Moscow as he is recovering from illness. His condition is ok but it is early to make him play. The doctors will examine forward’s health on Monday.

“We will try to pay attention to defense and rebounding again, - CSKA head coach Evgeny Pashutin said. Krasnoyarsk team will miss Kambala, and that’s a serious loss. We know Chalmers and Warrick pretty well as they play in Russia for a long time. Enisey is a good and ambitious team, and it is difficult to defeat it on their court.”
