Away game in Moscow

The next away game on Sunday will be like a home one for our team. The Army Men visit Krasny Oktyabr Volgograd in Krylatskoe Sports Palace in Moscow.

The team will miss Pavel Korobkov (knee surgery). Ivan Lazarev who missed previous game due to sprained ankle remains questionable.

“Krasny Oktyabr have changed drastically since we met on our court earlier this season,” CSKA head coach Dimitris Itoudis said. “They have new foreigners, new Russian players. As usually, we approach the game very seriously because we respect the opponents, the game, the competition and ourselves.”
