Alexey Zozulin left Russian National team

The guard of Spartak Alexey Zozulin left Russian National team. We remind that Alexey had individual trainings in Novogorsk during last month and he had medical treatment for his knee in Moscow.
"We told yesterday with David Blatt and decided that I wouldn't continue preparation for Worlds. The head coach said regrets about my health, he hoped to see me in team in Turkey but he said that he didn't want to have a risk about my health. Certainly I am sad about this situation. I hoped to the final moment and did everything to help team in Worlds. But unfortunately I need treatment now", - Alexey said.
Now Alexey is in St.Petersburg. The player, team's management and doctor will decide where he will have a treatment - in St.Petersburg or in Germany. Now it's very important to see the player be prepared for upcoming season.
