Arshavin shared his opinion when Russian clubs will return to European competition

“I bet that the earliest option for Russian clubs to return to European competition is 2025.

It seems to me that we will have intermediate results after the return.

If everything goes well with finances, our tops will be able to increase.

Do not expect extravaganzas, but we will not allow a complete failure, ”RIA Novosti quoted Arshavin as saying.

He also believes that it is necessary to let go of all legionnaires and bet on Russian football players during the period without European cups.

On March 7, the RFU filed an appeal with CAS against the decision of FIFA and UEFA to remove Russian teams and clubs from participating in tournaments under the auspices of organizations.

However, this appeal was rejected.

Recall that UEFA excluded the Russian team from the upcoming Nations League, and also decided not to allow Russian clubs to participate in European competition next season.

Earlier, Arshavin told which of the players could leave Zenit during the current transfer window.
