11.05.2016

The head of the Russian national team selection process Alexei Zhamnov commented on forward Nail Yakupov's statement that he was not selected for the Russian World Championship roster for reasons not connected to injuries:

- Before Nail came here, we had an agreement with his agent Igor Larionov that all players have equal chances to play at the World Championship, no matter if they play in the KHL or NHL. Nail does indeed have an ankle injury, and our doctors can indicate this. Also, Nail has further injuries, however due to a ethical consideration and an agreement with his NHL club we cannot speak about them.
