MOSCOW, November 9 (R-Sport) - FC Krasnodar's Armenian-American striker
Yura Movsisyan is set to miss his team's Russian Premier League clash
with Spartak on Sunday due to injury, he told R-Sport on Friday.
Movsisyan is the Russian top flight's joint top scorer with nine
goals, but missed Krasnodar's 2-0 win over Dynamo Moscow on Sunday
with a foot injury.
"My chances are not looking too good. I don't think I'm going to
be playing in the game," he said, adding that he was confident of a
swify recovery.
"It's not a big injury. I'm just not 100 percent, that's why I'm
not playing."
Fellow attacking players such as Moussa Konate and Wanderson could
step up in his absence, Movsisyan said.
"We do have players who can come in and do the job. They have shown
they can do it," he said.
Movsisyan started his career in the United States with the Kansas City
Wizards and Real Salt Lake, and joined Krasnodar last year following
a spell in the Danish league.
He plays international football for Armenia and has scored five
international goals in 18 games.
