Russia without injured for the match against the Czech Republic 5.07.2012

All Russian nationals are healthy and ready for the first European Championship match against the Czech Republic, said coach Dick Advocaat.

The only problems of Advocaat are coming from the state of the goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev, who last year snapped cruciate ligament and was missing nearly seven months from the pitches, after having gone through surgery. He returned to play at the end of the Russian championship, but in the last few days did not train because of inflammation in the knee incision. Akinfeev however, is almost fully recovered and will be able to play the 53 th game with the national team.

Advocaat announced that he is not sure still whether to bet on Akinfeev or his reserve Vyacheslav Malafeev.
