Against Zykov, striker Alexander Radulov used some pretty tough power checking. The SKA player was unable to continue the match.
After the match, which ended with the victory of the St. Petersburg club with a score of 7: 4, a photo of Zykov appeared on the Internet, who had practically no upper teeth left after Radulov’s attack.
Later, SKA head coach Roman Rotenberg said that Zykov was also diagnosed with a facial bone fracture.
“Valentin Zykov has a serious facial bone fracture. This is not very good. We need to see if the injury was inflicted intentionally or not. But the players need to understand that they have to take the hit. Zykov’s injury encouraged the team.” Because of this, we win. We work, because Zykov was immediately taken to the hospital, there will be an operation, “RIA Novosti quoted Rotenberg as saying.
