Journalist Volodymyr Zverov has reported new details of the scandal involving Shakhtar player Oleksandr Rosputko's defection to Russia.
"A new 'star'!
Shakhtar U-19 midfielder Oleksandr Rosputko did not return to Ukraine with the team after the UEFA Youth League match against Antwerp (2-1). They say the player did not arrive at the airport with the team.
I don't know about "not arriving at the airport". Usually, players/staff check out their rooms, get on a bus and go to the airport with the whole team. With a typical 30-minute drive to the airport, it's easy to see if everyone is there. Even if there was no roll call. That is, the guy could have run away from the team at the airport. He didn't jump out of the bus.
I heard information that Zvezda St Petersburg was waiting for Rosputko. I'm also adding Brutal Football's information about the player's stay in the rashka. Running away to a club from a civilised country couldn't have been like that," Zverov wrote on his telegram channel.
As a reminder, Zvezda is coached by another traitor to Ukraine, Gennadiy Zubov.
