Russia
After previously deleting Butko, Spiridonov and Kurkaev, the coach of “Zbornaya” made another strange decision – he removed setter Igor Kobzar from the list. Interestingly, just like Spiridonov, Kobzar is another player of Alekno’s team – Zenit Kazan.
Another interesting fact – Dmitriy Muserskiy is on the list among middle blockers (which is his natural position), not among opposites (where he played at the 2015 World League and World Cup).
At the 2015 CEV European Championship, Russia will play in Pool D with Slovakia (ROSTER), Serbia (ROSTER) and Finland (ROSTER). It’s the only pool whose all teams announced their squads so far.
Full composition of Russian NT for ECH:
Setters: Dmitriy Kovalev (Gubernya), Sergey Grankin (Dinamo Moscow);
Opposite hitters: Maxim Mikhailov (Zenit), Victor Poletaev (Zenith), Pavel Kruglov (Dinamo Moscow);
Outside hitters/receivers: Dmitry Ilinykh (Belogorie), Evgeniy Sivozhelez (Zenit), Sergey Savin (Gubernya), Egor Klyuka (Fakel);
Middle blockers: Dmitriy Muserskiy (Belogorie), Artem Volvich (Novosibirsk), Ilya Vlasov (Fakel);
Liberos: Alexey Obmochaev (Dinamo Moscow), Alexey Verbov (Zenit).
