Zhamnov said that the date of Kovalchuk’s debut in Spartak depends on his condition
The head coach of Spartak Moscow, Alexey Zhamnov, spoke about the debut date for the club of 40-year-old striker Ilya Kovalchuk. “Championship” reports this.
According to him, it depends on the player’s condition. “Now Ilya will come and will fully prepare with us. This will happen in the coming days. The decision to involve him in games rests with the coaching staff,” Zhamnov yawned.
On December 7, Kovalchuk explained the decision to resume his career and sign a contract with Spartak. “In 2001, I left Sokolniki, in principle, I had a good career, but I felt that I had some kind of understatement in relation to my native club,” the player said.
Kovalchuk’s return to Spartak was announced on December 5. The forward signed a contract with the club until the end of the season. It was specified that he would play for Spartak under number 71.
Kovalchuk played in the National Hockey League for several clubs for more than ten years. The forward’s last team was Omsk Avangard, with whom he won the Gagarin Cup. The athlete suspended his career after the 2020/2021 season. He is a student of Spartak.
