The head coach of Zenit, **Sergey Semak**, shared insights about midfielder **Andrey Mostovoy’s** physical condition following advice from the Russian national team coach **Valery Karpin** to maintain a leaner physique. Karpin noted that Mostovoy is not experiencing weight issues.

“Karpin addressed the question about Mostovoy. He wasn’t called up, but he is training with us. He doesn’t have excess weight, and his physical condition is fine. Regarding his match fitness, every player goes through different phases: sometimes performing better, sometimes worse. Currently, he’s playing a bit less. Everything depends on his abilities—his hands, legs, and mind—just like with any player,” Semak mentioned in a conversation with Championship correspondent Ilya Nikulnikov.
