MOSCOW, November 11 (R-Sport) - Fresh from scoring a hat-trick against
Russian league leaders Zenit St. Petersburg, Spartak Moscow striker
Yura Movsisyan has likely been forced out until the new year with a
knee injury, his club said Monday.
The Armenian-American forward succumbed to injury 58 minutes into
Sunday's 4-2 win over Zenit, in which he took his tally for the season
to 10 goals.
According to club doctor Mikhail Vartapetov, Movsisyan has aggravated
an old injury to the meniscus in his right knee and may need surgery.
"It's not clear if Movsisyan will be able to take part in the remaining
games this year," Spartak said in a website statement.
With three games left for Spartak in 2013, including a heated derby
against CSKA Moscow, coach Valery Karpin will now have to rely on
Paraguayan striker Lucas Barrios, who is yet to score his maiden goal
for the Russian team after signing in August.
The last league games of 2013 are scheduled for December 8, after
which Russian football's lengthy winter break means that there is no
domestic action until early March.
Spartak are third in the league, trailing three points behind Zenit.
