"Zira"'s new signing, Yegor Bogomolskyi, is out of action for a long time.
Idman.biz reports, citing Telegraf, that the 25-year-old Belarusian striker, who transferred from "Neftchi" to the "eagles" on June 7, suffered a leg injury.
Although Bogomolskyi started training with his new team, he soon encountered problems. As a result, he was not included in the application for all three of "Zira"'s control matches so far. He is currently limited to individual training.
3 more players of the "Eagles" are also injured. Eldar Guliyev, Ismayil Ibrahimli and goalkeeper Tiago Silva have not been able to help the team for some time.
On the other hand, Brazilian attacking midfielder Rafael Utzig, who was put up for transfer, has not yet joined the team's camp. Utzig also ignored head coach Rashad Sadigov's penalty threat.
"Zira" has so far played control matches with "Qarabag" (0:4), Turkey's "Ankara Keçiörengücü" (2:1) and Jordan's "Al Hussein" (1:0).
The Azerbaijani representative will face Croatian "Hajduk" in the II qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League. The first match will take place on July 23 at the 8th kilometer stadium ("Neftchi Arena"). The return match will take place on July 31 at the "Polyud" stadium in Split.
