Spartak captain Georgy Dzhikia's contract expires at the end of the season. The 30-year-old is currently a reserve for the Russian Premier League club.

Oleg Malyshev promised to discuss the current situation with Guillermo Abascal and Tomas Amaral in the near future. According to experts, it is too early to write off the central defender and let him go to other clubs, especially if he manages to oust Alexis Duarte from the starting lineup.
