As noted, Kutepov underwent an in-depth examination in Rome, according to the results of which a decision was made that a 25-year-old player needs an operation to eliminate inguinal hernia.

"It will take approximately two months to restore Ilya," said Mikhail Vartapetov, head of the medical department of Spartak.

Earlier, the football player of "Rubin" Yegor Sorokin was summoned to the Russian national team instead of Kutepov.
