Andrei Arshavin To Miss Spain, Greece


Andrei Arshavin To Miss Spain, GreeceRussia will be missing their talisman captain in Andrei Arshavin for the first two group games of Euro 2008 against Spain and Greece.

With Spain and Greece providing the likely tougher opposition that Greece it isn’t clear whether Arshavin will now make Euro 2008 at all after have the suspension handed down for a sending off against Andorra.

Guus Hiddink has already revealed he would have left Arshavin out of his summer squad had the ban been issued at three games instead of two. This might put a little dent in Ruud Gullit’s earlier claim that Russia may make the quarter final if not beyond.

I can’t see Arshavin NOT making the Euro 2008 trip in the summer but losing their captain for the vital games of the group stage, particularly against Spain, is bound to be a massive blow - both to the team and to Arshavin himself.
