Before the match of the 1/32 finals of the Russian Cup against Naftokhimik, the head coach of "Stavropol AgroSoyuz" Kyrylo Eidelnant said that his team may withdraw from the tournament due to the mobilization of players.
— The problem now is with certain situations in the country, mobilization... As of today, three of my boys have already felt... They seem to have been put on the lists. We will not play with 13 football players against a first league team. This is crazy. I don't know how it will be. We have 4 numbers game. How to prepare, in what mode, I have no idea today. If the guys are going to be taken... Do I have anyone with combat experience? Yes, there are guys. Everyone served - they will be taken away first, Eidelnant told local television.
