Published: April 04, 2017

FC Ufa are sweating on the fitness of Sylvester Igboun ahead of their Russian Cup semifinal against Lokomotiv Moscow on Wednesday, April 5.

Igboun was substituted after 65 minutes in Ufa’s 1-0 win over Krylya Sovetov as a result of an injury and has not been selected for the last two matches in the Russian Premier League.

Though the Nigeria international will travel with the Ufa squad to the Russian capital, he remains doubtful to play.

This season, the former FC Midtjylland star has recorded 20 appearances across all competitions, scoring 3 goals and providing 3 assists.

Igboun was not in the squad that beat third-tier FC Energomash on penalties in the fifth round of the Cup.
